Tawali

Milne Bay, Papua New Guinea

Tawali is a solid pick for divers looking to explore Milne Bay’s diverse underwater scene. It’s particularly strong for those who appreciate both wide-angle reefscapes and the smaller critters of muck diving. We’ve found their local guides are exceptionally good at spotting things you’d otherwise swim straight past. If you’re keen on wall dives adorned with colossal elephant ear sponges or prefer the thrill of a drift dive, Tawali serves as an excellent base for accessing both. Visiting in September often brings a good chance of encountering manta rays, which is always a bonus.
