This dive site, Keikos, is characterized by its dramatic walls and sloped sides, emerging from a small exposed rock on the surface. Located a 45-minute boat ride from Tufi Dive Resort, the site offers varied topography suitable for exploration, with depths ranging from a shallow 5 meters down to over 45 meters. While generally calm, divers should be aware of a light current that can be experienced at the southern tip.
Keikos boasts a rich diversity of marine life, typical of tropical Indo-Pacific waters. Enthusiasts of macro life will find nudibranchs, while the vibrant reefs are home to clownfish and sweetlips. Larger species are also frequently observed, with stingrays often encountered. The site is particularly noted for regular visits from pelagic species, including impressive tuna and barracuda.
For divers, the varied depths allow for multi-level dives, with shallower sections perfect for beginners and safety stops, while advanced divers can explore the deeper walls. Freedivers will appreciate the extensive depth range. While specific best times are not given, the general dry season in Papua New Guinea (May to November) often offers the best conditions. Remember to check local current conditions before diving, especially at the southern tip.
