Lissenung Island Reef
Why dive here
With 203+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, giant moray eels, lionfish, nautiluses and pufferfish - Lissenung Island Reef offers some of Rabaul & New Britain's richest reef diving. Water sits around 31°C.
Lissenung Island Reef is a genuinely pleasant house reef, wrapping around a good portion of the island. It’s a shallow dive, sticking mostly between two and ten metres, which makes it an absolute win for photographers keen on macro subjects and anyone looking for a relaxed night dive. We’ve spent hours here, poking around for pygmy seahorses and spotting a surprising number of different clownfish species. Keep an eye out for cockatoo waspfish tucked amongst the corals; they blend in remarkably well. It’s a gentle introduction to PNG’s reef life, ideal for shaking off travel rust or just enjoying a calm swim.
