Why dive here
With 382+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, eagle rays, giant moray eels, humpback whales and sperm whales - Nuku Reef offers some of Kadavu & Great Astrolabe Reef's richest reef diving.
Nuku Reef is a solid, easy dive, perfect if you’re getting back into it or just starting out. At a gentle 22 meters, it’s a relaxed drift along the reef edge where you can take your time. We’ve spotted plenty of fusiliers here, swirling in big silver clouds, and the occasional turtle gliding by. It's a nice, calm introduction to the Astrolabe, without any demanding currents to worry about.
