    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Fathers Reef, in Kimbe Bay, offers some genuinely impressive coral formations. We’ve drifted along walls draped in gorgonian fans and seen resident reef sharks patrol the deeper sections. It’s a site for divers who appreciate pristine hard and soft corals, with visibility often stretching past 25 metres. Best for those comfortable with occasional mild currents.
