Silvertip Bank
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 - Silvertip Bank offers some of Kimbe Bay's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest January, November, December.
Silvertip Bank in Kimbe Bay is all about the sharks. We’ve seen silvertips cruising the top of the bank, sometimes gray reef sharks too, just hanging out in the current. It’s an exposed site, so expect some push, but that’s what brings in the bigger fish. This spot is definitely for divers comfortable in current and looking for pelagic encounters.
