With 375+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue-spotted stingrays, eagle rays, giant moray eels and grey reef sharks - Christine’s Reef offers some of Kimbe Bay's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest January, November, December.
Christine's Reef in Kimbe Bay is one of those spots that just makes you smile. It's a shallow dive, maxing out at about 12 meters, and the coral gardens really are something else. We're talking plate corals, staghorns, and brain corals all packed together, forming these intricate structures that just glow in the sunlight. You'll find a steady stream of reef fish darting amongst them, and it’s a site where macro life thrives too; nudibranchs and flatworms are regulars if you slow down and look closely. It's a great spot for photographers, especially those who appreciate a vibrant, healthy reef without needing extreme depth.
