Kaplaman
Why dive here
With 203+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, giant moray eels, lionfish, nautiluses and pufferfish - Kaplaman offers some of Rabaul & New Britain's richest diving. Water sits around 31°C.
Kaplaman gives you a good feel for Rabaul's underwater character. It's a series of pinnacles, some of them rising so close to the surface you can almost reach out and touch them. We've seen an impressive variety of reef fish here, particularly in the shallower sections, with plenty of fusiliers and schooling bannerfish swarming the coral bommies. It’s a solid, enjoyable dive for anyone looking for classic reef action without too much fuss.
