Inglis Shoals in Kimbe Bay is where we go when we’re looking for action in the blue. It’s an exposed site and that usually means currents, which draw in the bigger fish. We’ve had some good encounters here with grey reef sharks, the occasional hammerhead, and schools of barracuda. It’s a site best suited for divers comfortable with drift diving and keeping an eye on their buddies.
