New Life Planning Details
Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Depth Note
Steep wall start into a flatter coral-head and sand-patch section.

Typical Conditions
Wall start, coral heads, anemone patches, and a mix of moderate current and clear enough water for macro diving.
Safety & Access At New Life
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Strong current
Safety Notes
Keep buoyancy tight on the wall start, stay aware of current near the sea fans, and avoid touching ledges or coral heads while hovering.
Access Restrictions
Best accessed through the Pom Pom resort or dive operator, with boat routing and timing handled locally rather than as a public shore entry.
Legal Notes
Follow the local dive operator and island rules for site access, since New Life is part of the managed Pom Pom dive network.
Local Intel For New Life
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba
Best as a guided scuba dive with careful trim and a slow pace; the wall start and small creatures reward hovering.
Freedive
Possible only for very comfortable freedivers; scuba is the better match for the wall and current.
Snorkel
Snorkeling only gives a surface taste; the main draw sits below the wall start and around the coral heads.
