Dive-site story
Situated along the northern coast of Milne Bay Province, Wahoo Point is characterized by a reef plateau that abruptly plunges into an oceanic abyss. The point acts as a natural aggregation zone where incoming currents funnel nutrients, attracting large pelagic predators from deep open water while sustaining dense hard and soft coral colonies on the upper terrace.
Pelagic action along the drop-off edge including cruising wahoo and dogtooth tuna
Frequent encounters with oceanic manta rays and schooling mobulas in the blue
Macro critters hiding among gorgonians and whip corals on the reef crest
