With 375+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue-spotted stingrays, eagle rays, giant moray eels and grey reef sharks - Bradford & Inglis Shoals offers some of Kimbe Bay's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest January, November, December.
Bradford & Inglis Shoals are where you go in Kimbe Bay when you want to look for the bigger stuff. We’ve seen schools of barracuda here, sometimes big tuna hunting, and the occasional grey reef shark cruising by. It’s a blue water dive, more about the pelagics than the macro. Best for divers comfortable with potential currents and open water.
