Kimbe Bay is part of the global center of marine diversity called the Coral Triangle. Supporting 76 percent of the world's coral species, this area's rich waters are among the world's most precious. The Nature Conservancy helped design the first network of marine protected areas (MPAs) in the Coral Triangle designed to incorporate both human needs and principles of coral reef resilience to withstand impacts from climate change.

Fathers reef

At an incoming tide this narrow passage is like fish soup. Eagle Rays, Mobula Rays, big Dogtooth Tunas, Barracudas, plenty of Grey Reef Sharks and loads of other fish can be seen here on almost every dive. The wall itself is overgrown with big fan corals, black corals and sponges and this is the home for small creatures like Nudibranchs, Leaf Scorpionfish and Pygmy Seahorse. In our opinion Albatross is the best dive in the Kavieng area and a must for every visiting diver (www.lissenung.com)



Albatross passage

This is probably the most beautiful drift dive in Kavieng. Fantastic hard corals in the shallows and huge fan corals from 20m (65ft) downwards make a beautiful scenery. And as you drift along you may see Mobula Rays, Turtles, Sea Snakes and of course some Sharks (www.lissenung.com)

Drift around the southern point of the island.
Better starting on the left side and ending on the right side at about a nice small white sand beach breaking through the reef.
Lots of fish and fan corals.

Access by boat, 20-25 min. from Kavieng

Lissenung Island House reef

Three pinnacles starting at 120ft and dropping away to huge depths (300ft+). Excellent vis mostly. Great marine biodiversity.

This great dive sits halfway in between Lae and Salamaua-the Sand Bridge.  There are other numerous dive sites here, such as the flat top Mecca. i shall add these when I find my old log book.  It has wall to wall soft corals, sponges, gorgonians (8ft+ in length) etc.

It has it all.  I have met other who have dived there too and all rave about it.

Trips to Salamaua can be arranged by Dive Ventures Australia.
