Why dive here
With 292+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, grey reef sharks, sperm whales and whitetip reef sharks - Lumbaria Island offers some of Gizo & Western Province's richest reef diving.
Lumbaria Island offers a gentle entry into Gizo’s underwater world, a perfect spot for those getting comfortable with their buoyancy or keen on a long, relaxed potter. The maximum depth of 9 meters keeps things bright, often illuminating the resident schools of snapper and fusiliers that hang around the shallow coral bommies. We’ve found it’s a good place to spot smaller nudibranchs and flatworms if you’re patient and keep an eye on the rubble patches. It’s certainly not a drift dive, but for a calm afternoon beneath the waves, Lumbaria delivers.
