About this site
This wreck dive in Papua New Guinea's Steffen Strait features a WWII B-25 bomber resting at 30 meters. The intact fuselage and wings host schools of batfish and barracuda. Strong currents bring pelagics like tuna and reef sharks. Coral growth covers the wreck, creating a vibrant artificial reef. Visibility often exceeds 20 meters. The site suits advanced divers due to depth and occasional surge. Nearby Manne Island offers pristine reefs for safety stops.
