Diving - For enthusiastic scuba divers from beginners to well gassed, New Britain and New Ireland is renowned as having some of the best diving on the planet, with visibility up to 100 metres+ on a good day. The rich Bismark sea waters are abundant with an almost unimaginable diverse array of ocean flora and fauna ranging from massive Orca pods, Mantas, Dugongs and Turtles to mesmerizing macro critters like Shrimp, Crabs, Squat Lobsters and exquisitely vibrant coloured Nudibranchs. Divers also enjoy a huge diversity of dive sites,
including healthy and vibrant coral reefs, walls (sheer vertical deep drop offs), pinnacles, bomboras, trenches/valley drifts, coral fan gardens, fringing island reef plateaus and an extraordinary amount of WW2 wreck dive sites that include a collection of ships, aircraft, submarines and barges.
