Witu Islands
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 - Witu Islands offers some of Kimbe Bay's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest January, November, December.
The Witu Islands, just a bit further out from Kimbe Bay, offer a similar experience but with fewer other boats around. We often find schooling fish in numbers that can genuinely block out the sun, alongside soft corals that pulse with the current. It’s a great spot for wide-angle photography, though we’ve also spent dives just watching the smaller, stranger critters tucked into the reef. If you appreciate healthy reefs and fewer crowds, the Witus are a solid choice.
