    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Rest Orf Island, out in Kimbe Bay, is a solid spot. It’s one of those places where you pull up, and the island itself just looks right, all green against the blue. Dive in, and you’ll find some very healthy coral slopes, dropping down gently. We’ve had some cracking dives here, often spotting schooling barracuda and plenty of reef sharks just cruising by. It’s a good all-rounder, ideal for a relaxed dive where you can just soak it all in.
