About this site
Deacon's Reef lies within Milne Bay, a region on the eastern tip of Papua New Guinea known for its network of fringing and offshore reefs feeding into the Solomon Sea. Milne Bay's dive sites are typically reached by liveaboard given the area's scattered geography of islands and bays, with access usually organized out of Alotau. Deacon's Reef itself is rated a beginner site, making it one of the more accessible dives in a province otherwise associated with remote, boat-based diving.
