| As the name attests, only the most experienced dive operators know how to find Elusive Bommie. |
|
| We were moored off the bommie, off Papua New Guinea in the Bismarck Sea, and it was a cloudy night. |
|
| It's is a small bommie at the end of the reef, joined by a low saddle of coral. |
|
| Like many of the sites, this bommie was rather unprepossessing above water, but below it was a different matter entirely. |
|
| Just 50 metres in diameter, the bommie could easily be circumnavigated several times. |
|
| Our dive site was the top of a bommie, 25 metres deep, a short swim away from the wall. |
|
| There was a bommie displaying an intense array of amazing soft corals, smothered with layers of purple and orange fish. |
|
| At that bommie, we watched a manta swimming off into the distance. |
|
| He led us out into the blue to the bommie, which rose from the depths. |
|
| A large bommie the shape of an onion extends from the main reef on the northern side, and here were two dark crevices favoured by coral trout. |
|
| Some solitary corals, such as Cycloseris, were present at the base of the bommie. |
|
| I went to the bommie party with my bezzy friend, and we watched the fireworks together. |
