Travelled with my 21 yo son who is a keen diver. He has dived in NZ ,Fijian Coral coast and Rarotonga and enjoyed the difference of these soft coral dives and the variety of small reef inhabitants.He was lucky with the weather and was able to dive the Astrolabe Reef (just a small part of it!) on the other more... more

I was astonished with the horrible hospitality and lack of help from this resort. A new found friend and I, who had been staying at Matava resort on Kadavu Island, got stuck due to very bad weather conditions. The wonderful staff at Matava attempted to help us in organizing a place to stay for the night as our flight was... more

We as owners of Dive Kadavu were very surprised when we read this report. Any guest who has met Mere, our Resort Manager, knows that it would be completely out of character for her to treat somebody as described by rawFM. Read other TripAdvisor reviews and you know what we mean. We just would like to mention that rawFM's new...

Although our experience started rockily without anyone showing up to meet us at the airstrip for about half an hour, things improved dramatically once we checked in. Kadavu rooms are quite nice and very clean and although the power is intermittent and there are planned times when it is somewhat limited, the layout of the rooms, the porches, the clothesline... more

Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience from the incredible journey across amazing blue water to reach Matava through to one of my favourite thing in the word the food. Tried diving which felt like floating in air the water was so clear. Went Kayaking for a day with a local Ratu (Chief) which was both fascinating and great fun. Visited one... more

My wife and i spent 14 nights at Dive Kadavu over christmas and new year 08/09. Dive Kadavu seriously exceeded all expectations. We had two main objectives for our holiday - to dive, and to relax. So i'll start with the diving. We both love our diving and we have travelled the world diving in many fantastic locations - Kadavu... more

The holiday in Matana Beach/Dive Kadavu resort was fantastic, and I would recommend this diving resort to everybody! The diving was amazing, and the Divemaster absolutely brilliant! The resort then was exactly what we desired, excellent food, nice Bure and great family atmosphere. The entire staff was so competent and ready to help, Mere and Dave, the managers, were always... more

We arrive by an 18 seater airplane on Kadavu Island, and are met by David the resort manager. We are instantly put in relax mode with David's calm, but warm welcome. My partner & I have come here to elope. The Island was recommended to us by a client who had come earlier in the year to surf the reef,... more

We chose Kadavu Island due to the reviews of the diving there (dived many places around the world over the past 8 years but never Fiji until now) and then Dive Kavadu due to it offering diving plus having its own beach to snorkel from. It certainly isn't a resort to go to if you want 5 star treatment or... more

Loved Dive Kadavu and have been there twice the last 10 years the last visit being December of 06 to Janauary of 07. It is very basic and rustic-don't expect luxury or you will be sorely disappointed. The beach in front of the resort is beautiful and the snorkeling in front of the resort is underrated- one afternoon we spent... more
