Dive sites visited are at the discretion of the Captain and are weather dependent. Fathers Reefs are a series of offshore reefs, volcanic in origin, along the northern coastline of West New Britain. The underwater topography is startlingly different with dramatic reefscapes, arches and swim throughs. Being offshore, these reefs also attract pelagic activity such as sharks, rays, turtles, schools of barracuda, jacks, etc. Rabaul diving features an abundance of macro critters, usually around various jetty's. Please note that we do not dive the wrecks in Rabaul. These are specialty dives and we recommend diving the wrecks with local operators. Kimbe Bay is home to stunning reefs with those brilliant coral formations you see in all the classic Walindi pics. Beautiful and dramatic sea mounts, coral laden walls and lush coral gardens are all a feature of Kimbe Bay diving, along with myriad fish and invertebrate life the reefs sustain.
