"...when I am diving in a place such as the Astrolabe, where the sun sets over a low
lying palm silhouetted island, I sense that I am apart from the modern world not only in space but in time as well."

The Great Astrolabe Reef
is the world's fourth largest barrier reef and is Fiji's largest living organism. It extends along the entire southern side of Kadavu and stretches for over 120km. It is rated as one of the world's premier diving locations offering a great diversity and spectacle in coral structures and marine life.
The reef adopted its name in 1827 following French explorer Dumont d'Urville's collision with the reef in his vessel "The Astrolabe".
