Why dive here
With 382+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, eagle rays, giant moray eels, humpback whales and sperm whales - Nawawa Bay offers some of Kadavu & Great Astrolabe Reef's richest reef diving.
Nawawa Bay is a solid choice for a laid-back dive, especially if you're just getting your fins wet. It's a shallow spot, topping out at 12 metres, which means plenty of light for the coral. You'll likely drift over patches of brain coral and the occasional bommie, with schools of colourful reef fish flitting through the shallows. It's a nice easy dive, great for building confidence or just enjoying a relaxed hour underwater.
