Why dive here
With 382+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, eagle rays, giant moray eels, humpback whales and sperm whales - Mississippi offers some of Kadavu & Great Astrolabe Reef's richest diving.
Mississippi on Kadavu’s Great Astrolabe Reef is a really comfortable dive, straightforward enough for newer divers heading a bit deeper for the first time. We drop onto a sandy slope that gently descends to around 35m, dotted with healthy hard corals and scattered bommies. Keep an eye out for white-tip reef sharks cruising over the sand and the usual suspects of reef fish darting between the coral heads. It’s a good spot to relax and just enjoy the Fijian water without worrying about tricky conditions.
