Muck Dives

Johnnies Jetty - Doorstep Reef

Johnnies Jetty

This jetty is a must to be dived for one of your last dives in town. It is only a shallow dive - max of 18m if you want to see a colony of razor fish, but most of the dive is spent in 5m of water perusing very slowly amongst the pylons that hold the jetty up. It been described as one of the best muck dives around Rabaul. Some of the critters that can be seen include the Cockatoo Wasp Fish, scorpion fish, seahorses and even the master of disguise, a White frog fish, which I haven't found again since I first came across it.

Doorstep and Dories Wreck

I would have to say that I have one site that is just as good as the Jetty right on my very own doorstep. Yes, The Door Step (or house reef) is probably one of the best dives Ican offer guests. It might not look like much but once you're under you'll be suprised. I am. Just recently I found my own Frog fish right off the beach. Over the years that I've dived the Doorstep I have been surprised to find creatures that I have always wanted to see, and now I have my own collection where I live. Just some of the things I've found here: numerous types of pipe fish including the Harliquin Ghost pipefish, scorpion fish, live shells, nudibranches, seahorses, seamoths, sea robins, snake eels and gobiis. All these creatures live amongst the corals and little coral bombies that scatter the sandy flat between the two reefs.
