About this site
Frank's Reef lies off Baudisson Island in the New Ireland region of Papua New Guinea, part of the Bismarck Archipelago in Melanesia. This stretch of water is dotted with small islands and fringing reefs typical of the area, generally reached by boat from dive operations based around New Ireland. Divers here have reported mantis shrimp and nudibranchs among the reef life, making it a spot worth a closer look for those interested in smaller critters.
