Why dive here
With 382+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, eagle rays, giant moray eels, humpback whales and sperm whales - Sunrise Beach offers some of Kadavu & Great Astrolabe Reef's richest diving.
Sunrise Beach is a mellow introduction to Kadavu's underwater world, a site we'd suggest for anyone getting back into diving or just starting out. At a gentle 11 meters, it’s a calm coral garden where you can really take your time. Expect to spot a good variety of the usual reef suspects here: we've seen clownfish peeking from anemones and the odd reef shark cruising in the distance. It’s not a drift dive or a wall, just a friendly, shallow spot perfect for building confidence.
