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.

Witu Islands are a group of islands, volcanic in origin, situated to the north west of Kimbe Bay. The diving is a mixture of sea mounts rising from deep waters to within metres of the surface (such as Lama shoals), beautiful coral arches and great night dives in the black sand bays of the islands. Lots of interaction with the locals trading fresh fruit and veg out of their canoes too.

Fathers Reefs are a series of off-shore reefs, also volcanic in origin, along the northern coastline of East 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, turtle, schools of barracuda and jacks, etc.
