Why dive here
With 382+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, eagle rays, giant moray eels, humpback whales and sperm whales - Vitawatawa Channel offers some of Kadavu & Great Astrolabe Reef's richest drift diving.
The Vitawatawa Channel offers a good drift dive along Kadavu's southern coast. We usually drop in where the lagoon meets the open ocean, letting the current carry us past ledges of pore corals. Keep an eye out for lionfish, they're often tucked under rocky overhangs or even strutting along the wall, fins flared. It’s a pretty straightforward drift, good for a relaxed dive, especially if you enjoy watching the reef go by.
Safety Notes
Drift dive - carry a surface marker buoy (SMB) and stay with your group. Brief the current direction before entry.
