About Broken Stone

Broken Stone is more than one Kadavu dive spot known as Alacrity Rocks on the east side of the Great Astrolabe Reef. The topography dictates caverns swim throughs, crevices, arches and gullies to spend as much time as your air allows exploring to your heart's content. Broken Stone has four bommies that have a labyrinthine element about them as well as a central cavern where light streams down from above reminiscent of the creating the ambience of being in a cathedral or place of worship.

Dive Site Hazards

  • Remote Silt Disturbance — Silt can be disturbed metres away from the source.

  • Rapid Stress Escalation — Stress can increase sharply when visibility or navigation degrades.

  • High Cognitive Load Navigation — Complex passages increase mental workload even on a line.

  • Situational Awareness Loss — Divers may fixate on sharks and lose depth or position awareness.

  • Subtle Behavioural Shifts — Changes in shark behaviour may be missed without active observation.

  • Blue-Water Reference Loss — Lack of visual references increases ascent and descent instability.

  • Hidden Depth Variations — Complex reef topography can conceal depth changes, leading to unintended profile variations.

  • Distraction from Marine Activity — High fish activity can distract divers and delay depth or gas awareness.

  • Rapid Surge Direction Changes — Surge near reef structures can reverse direction quickly, pushing divers sideways into unexpected areas.
