Why dive here
With 382+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, eagle rays, giant moray eels, humpback whales and sperm whales - Tavaniko Point offers some of Kadavu & Great Astrolabe Reef's richest diving.
Tavaniko Point offers a pleasant introduction to diving in Kadavu, especially if you’re just getting your fins wet. The reef here tops out at a comfortable 19m, making it an easy drift for beginners. We've seen a good number of reef sharks patrolling the deeper edges, alongside schools of surgeonfish grazing the coral bommies. Visibility is generally good, often stretching to 20m, which helps you spot the smaller parrotfish and wrasse darting between the hard corals. It's a relaxed dive, perfect for getting comfortable with the current and soaking in the classic Fiji reef vibe without any fuss.
