About this site
Kimbe Bommie is a well known seamount dive within Kimbe Bay off the north coast of New Britain, Papua New Guinea, an area recognised for exceptionally rich reef biodiversity. The bommie rises from deeper water toward the surface and is dived in layers, with soft coral growth and schooling fish concentrated around the shallower pinnacle sections and gorgonians and sea fans further down. Divers commonly encounter schooling barracuda, batfish, and a wide range of reef fish, along with occasional pelagics passing the seamount.
