Baudisson Bay
Why dive here
With 203+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, giant moray eels, lionfish, nautiluses and pufferfish - Baudisson Bay offers some of Rabaul & New Britain's richest reef diving. Water sits around 31°C.
Baudisson Bay offers a dramatic vertical wall, dropping from the surface into an 800-meter abyss. We've often found grey reef sharks and whitetip sharks patrolling the deeper sections, a reliable sight on most dives. The real magic, though, is in the details – the wall is riddled with swim-throughs and crevices, perfect for discovering an impressive variety of nudibranchs and other macro life. It’s a site that rewards a slow drift, keeping an eye out for the big stuff while appreciating the smaller, intricate creatures tucked into every nook.
