Banana Bommie
Why dive here
With 241+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, grey reef sharks, sea turtles and sperm whales - Banana Bommie offers some of Milne Bay's richest reef diving. Water sits around 31°C.
Banana Bommie is a popular spot in Milne Bay, and for good reason. This sizable pinnacle rises close to the surface, its coral-encrusted walls attracting a steady stream of pelagics. We’ve often watched impressive schools of batfish and trevally hovering in the current, creating a shimmering wall of silver. Down on the bommie itself, the nooks and crannies hold plenty of smaller critters for those who like to take their time. While not an every-dive occurrence, we’ve occasionally spotted a grey reef shark cruising past, a welcome bonus. It’s a solid dive for photographers and those who appreciate a busy, lively reef.
