Why dive here
With 382+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, eagle rays, giant moray eels, humpback whales and sperm whales - Purple Rain, Fiji offers some of Kadavu & Great Astrolabe Reef's richest reef diving.
Purple Rain, Fiji sits at a comfortable 19m, making it a good choice for newer divers finding their fins in Kadavu. The name comes from the sheer coverage of purple soft corals that ripple with the gentle current, creating a real visual spectacle. We’ve spent many a no-decompression limit here just watching the parrotfish graze and the occasional reef shark cruise by. It’s a pleasant, easy dive, perfect for a relaxed afternoon with plenty to catch your eye without feeling overwhelming.
