The Tami Islands are a small island group located seven nautical miles SSE of Finschhafen in the Huon Gulf (see also Solomon Sea). It is part of today's Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea. The Tami Islands include four atolls, two of which are very small, and one so small it is not much larger than a strip of sand. On the two largest islands there are two villages that face each other across a volcanic cove.[1] The islands form a circle around a lagoon, which at its center is 21 metres (69 ft) deep.[2] The cove attracts snorkelers and divers who explore the reefs, including day-trippers from nearby Lae, on the main island of Papua New Guinea.[3] The reefs contain Spanish Dancer jellyfish, Blue See Stars and varieties of colorful Pelagic fish, both predators and prey.[4] At its widest, the largest island is not more than two city blocks wide (approximately 80 metres (262 ft)).
