The Dart Reefs in Milne Bay are a solid choice for a dive day. We’ve found good coral coverage here, especially some impressive plate corals in the shallower sections. Look closely for the smaller stuff – nudibranchs and flatworms are often about, tucked into crevices. It’s a good spot for a relaxed dive, suitable for most experience levels.
