Kavieng - Albatross Passage Dive Site — Papua New Guinea
About Kavieng - Albatross Passage
Albatross Passage is Kavieng's premier drift dive, where powerful tidal currents sweep divers through a narrow channel between New Ireland and Nusa Island. Massive schools of barracuda, big-eye trevally, and grey reef sharks hunt in the current, while eagle rays glide past in the blue. The sheer volume of pelagic life here rivals any channel dive in the Pacific.
