Bermuda Drop
Why dive here
With 203+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, giant moray eels, lionfish, nautiluses and pufferfish - Bermuda Drop offers some of Rabaul & New Britain's richest diving. Water ranges 30-31°C, warmest January, February, May.
Bermuda Drop gives you a proper wall dive, starting shallow at 3m before pitching down to 25m, then it just keeps going. We like to follow the slope, looking for the big overhang around 18m, often home to a moray or two tucked away. It's a great spot for the macro stuff – you'll find flatworms and nudibranchs here, plus the occasional leaf scorpionfish if you have a good eye. Keep an eye out for the giant clam at 14m. It's an easy dive, good for new divers looking for that wall experience without heavy current.
