Dive sites visited are at the discretion of the Captain and are weather dependent. Fathers Reefs and Bainings Reefs are off-shore reefs, volcanic in origin, situated 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, turtle, schools of barracuda and jacks, etc. Bainings reefs offer great critter opportunities on the fringing reefs. East Coast New Ireland diving is somewhat exploratory, with off shore reefs and islands close to shore. Typical diving features a mix of fringing reefs, bommies, coral gardens, with a selection of both wide angle and macro diving.
