Best for advanced divers, 35-90m, boat entry, strong current.
Halfway Reef is an advanced dive site in Papua New Guinea characterised by a steep drop-off that descends from 35 to 90 metres. The site requires boat access and is subject to strong currents that necessitate solid buoyancy and current-reading skills. Visibility is variable, ranging from 10 to 50 metres depending on conditions. Water temperatures remain consistent throughout the year, typically between 26 and 28 degrees Celsius. Due to the significant depth profile and potential for shifting currents, divers must confirm surface support and local conditions with their operator prior to departure.

Check current direction and strength with the operator before descending, as the flow can shift and the depth range here leaves little margin for a slow ascent if you get pushed off the structure. Confirm what surface support and facilities are available locally before your dive day, as these are not fixed.
