Diversion Dive Travel - Products | Accommodation | Papua New Guinea

Kabaira offers beachfront accommodation one hour drive from Rabaul (Tokua) Airport. It is the gateway for diving to untouched reefs with the closest dive only 10 minutes away. The house reef provides great snorkelling or an excellent late afternoon or evening dive.

Kabaira Dive is managed by Stephen and his team of local "tolai" people. Stephen was born in Rabaul and his family has lived at the location for two generations. in 2003 they started Kabaira Dive to allow visitors to experience the fantastic reefs off their property and in the greater Rabaul region.

Rabaul was the place for wreck diving in PNG before three of the volcanoes which surround the caldera erupted simultaneously in September 1994. In three days the thriving town of Rabaul was completely covered in ash and destroyed.

Life has returned to Rabaul, although there is still plenty of evidence of the devastation caused by the eruptions and the volcanic ash which blanketed the harbour area of town.

The wrecks in the harbour were covered under tons of ash. Today there are again a couple of very good wreck dives and divers have discovered the beautiful reefs around Rabaul as world class dive spots, both for Macro diving and for the variety of fish life. Kabaira's reef have never been effected by the volcano. They have hardly ever been visited by divers and offer some of the most pristine diving opprtunities in PNG

The beach house has 4 twin share rooms with shared bathroom facilities including hot water. Accommodation is simple and your hosts are welcoming.
Meals are provided in the Beach Lounge only meters from the beach. The menu takes on a Rabaul flavour which is a blend of local, European and Chinese cuisine. Vegetarian meals are provided on request.
