Why dive here
With 382+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, eagle rays, giant moray eels, humpback whales and sperm whales - Steps offers some of Kadavu & Great Astrolabe Reef's richest diving.
Steps, true to its name, drops down in gentle ledges, making it a comfortable dive for anyone just starting out or those looking for a relaxed swim. We find it a really agreeable spot to spend an hour, especially in the mornings when the light hits the upper corals just right. Expect to see plenty of smaller reef fish darting between the soft corals and anemones. It’s a tranquil dive, not one for big pelagic action, but we always appreciate its easygoing charm.
