Plongée à Kimbe Bay — Papua New Guinea
Kimbe Bay's volcanic seamounts rise from deep water creating nutrient-rich upwellings that support over 860 species of reef fish and 350 coral species. Hammerheads circle the seamounts at dawn, mantas visit cleaning stations, and the coral coverage is among the healthiest in the Pacific. Remote but utterly rewarding.
