Why dive here
With 382+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, eagle rays, giant moray eels, humpback whales and sperm whales - Swim Through Heaven offers some of Kadavu & Great Astrolabe Reef's richest cave diving.
Swim Through Heaven does what it says on the tin, mostly. It’s a series of tunnels and swim-throughs, all within recreational limits at about 18 meters. We found it a nice change of pace from the outer reef drifts, offering a chance to slow down and really appreciate the filtering light. Keep an eye out for nudibranchs tucked into the crevices and the occasional reef shark cruising by the entrances. It’s a good one for intermediate divers who are comfortable navigating enclosed spaces without feeling crowded.
