The MV FeBrina is one of the world's best known liveaboard dive
boats. Given a five star rating in all categories in a leading dive guide and
highly recommended in the prestigious Harper & Queen, FeBrina is a 72 foot long
vessel, fully air-conditioned and fitted with every convenience to make your
trip one of the most enjoyable you will ever experience.
FeBrina dives the areas of Kimbe Bay and surrounding waters along the
northern coast of New Britain. Areas such as the Witu Islands to the north and
west and Fathers Reefs to the northeast, Kavieng in the north of New Ireland and
on rare occasions, weather permitting, New Hanover. FeBrina also visits the south eastern side of New Britain,
when the weather is suitable. These charters offer the most amazing critters including many varieties of frogfish, pipefish,
and even rhinopias. All of these waters are home to prolific and diverse marine
creatures and corals.
Recent marine surveys in Kimbe Bay have recorded over 400 species of reef building corals and over 900 species of fish. The reefs are a photographer's paradise. Pristine and colourful corals are home to a variety of fish, crustaceans and invertebrate life from macro creatures like the tiny pygmy seahorse to the larger reef sharks. Many of the reefs have resident schools of barracuda, tuna, and jacks. A range of shark species are regularly sighted, particularly at the outer reefs. Visibility ranges from 15-46 metres (50 to 150 feet) depending on the season and water temperatures range between 28-30 degrees celsius (83 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit.
FeBrina is an extremely comfortable boat in all ways, with a friendly and
experienced crew providing top class service. Most diving is from FeBrina's dive
deck with easy access via the water level dive platform. Our New Guinean
divemasters are at home in the ocean and are some of the best critter spotters
in the world. Some of the reefs are current washed. Without current, the
spectacular marine life would not be there, however, the wide range of dive
sites means that it is not necessary to dive at a site if currents are
unmanageable at the time.

It is our policy to pool any collected gratuities and divide these among the crew, since we believe no one crew member has the opportunity to give exceptional service without the assistance and support of all other crew members.
