Tufi Dive Resort location and day-dive operator listing.
Boat-only access, light drift, and rich reef life make JMC a guided outer-reef dive rather than a slow shore swim.
About JMC
JMC is a drift dive off Tufi in Papua New Guinea, reached by a long boat run from Tufi Dive Resort. The site is a relaxed outer-reef route with enough current to move you along without turning it into a hard swim, and its reef structure, pelagic passes, and mixed reef life make it a strong fit for divers who want current, color, and a live reef rather than a static wall.
