South Coast New Britain Dive cruise, March 2015
November 7, 2014 – 11:03 am
FeBrina will be revisiting an old favourite in March 2015 with its popular South Coast itinerary. Departing Rabaul, this itinerary explores the fringing reefs and lagoons of the Southern Coastline of New Britain, including Waterfall Bay, Jacquinot Bay and Lindenhaven.
South Coast New Britain diving is a wonderland of rare and unusual critters. If you are a photographer and enjoy macro and critters, South Coast New Britain is sure to delight!
Around the Lindenhaven area, the contours of the Solomon Trench (the third deepest part of the world’s oceans) come in very close. In Captain Alan’s opinion, this is the reason that we get so many extraordinary critters in this area, some of which we can’t find in any resource books.
As many of the dives are not overly deep, FeBrina will often run an “open deck” as the reefs in this are area prolific and there are many, many reefs that have not yet been dived. The topside scenery is amazing with many small, uninhabited islands with white sand beaches. There are a couple of clean rivers that run from high in the rainforest down to the sea, one of which comes out of the side of a mountain. FeBrina’s crew often run a trip via the chase boat to the cave where the river comes out.. or for the more intrepid, a hike up to the “blue hole”, mysteriously eerie and thrilling to dive.
If you are looking for something a little different, FeBrina’s South Coast itinerary may be for you! There will be a limited number of these trips in 2015, so book early to avoid missing out!
