Where to Stay in Fathers Reefs (between New Britain & New Ireland)
Resorts, hotels, and accommodation options in Fathers Reefs (between New Britain & New Ireland)
Accommodation Overview
There is no land-based accommodation at the Fathers Reefs; the only way to dive them is on a liveaboard such as the MV FeBrina, which departs from Walindi near Kimbe and typically combines the reefs with Kimbe Bay and sometimes Witu or New Ireland. Cabins are compact but comfortable, with a dedicated dive deck, rinse tanks, and a crew experienced in timing the seamounts to slack water. Divers should plan a multi-day trip to make the long transit worthwhile and to catch the hammerhead season.
