Great shaped Bommies in PNGBanana Bommie is a well known dive site with a lot of marine and coral life. Many divers refer to it as a big aquarium, but than better. Banana Bommie is a small coral bommie coming from 43 meters and rising all the way up to 2 meters below the surface.

The dive site is small and can easily be dived with a single tank only. Many think the west side is the best, but actually that depends on the currents, which can also be at another side of the reef. Go to the south side for some astonishing soft coral. Fish such as fusiliers, batfish, reef sharks and sea cucumbers are quite common.
