North Emma
Why dive here
With 375+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue-spotted stingrays, eagle rays, giant moray eels and grey reef sharks - North Emma offers some of Kimbe Bay's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest January, November, December.
North Emma sits as a classic Kimbe Bay dive, those towering coral outcrops pushing up from the deep to just below the surface. We often drop onto the main reef and then follow its ridges out to the deeper pinnacles. It’s a site where you really feel the open ocean, the kind of place that consistently delivers pelagics. We’ve had some truly memorable encounters with hammerheads here, often cruising the deeper edges of the bommies. If you're looking for that big animal action, it’s a solid bet.
