    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    The Fathers Reefs, out in Kimbe Bay, are a little further afield from Walindi, a boat ride that’s definitely worth it. We often find ourselves drifting along walls here, the corals – especially the gorgonians and soft corals – are really impressive. Keep an eye out in the blue for schooling barracuda or the occasional reef shark cruising by. It’s a comfortable dive, good for anyone happy with a drift, and always a solid choice for a multi-day liveaboard trip.
