Dinah’s Beach
Why dive here
With 241+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, grey reef sharks, sea turtles and sperm whales - Dinah’s Beach offers some of Milne Bay's richest diving. Water sits around 31°C.
Dinah’s Beach holds a special spot in the muck diving world, widely considered the original. Don't come expecting vibrant corals; this is about the hunt. You'll spend your dive on a black sand and mud slope, typically no deeper than 12m, eyes peeled for the incredibly camouflaged. We've often found seahorses clinging to detritus, several species of octopus moving across the sand, and the occasional dwarf lionfish or frogfish blending perfectly. It’s a slow dive, perfect for photographers and anyone who loves seeking out the unusual.
