    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Lauadi, in Milne Bay, offers some genuinely interesting diving. We've often found schooling barracuda here, sometimes in significant numbers, alongside the usual reef fish. It’s a site that can have moderate currents, which keeps things lively, but it’s generally suitable for most divers looking for good fish action.
