Dubois' sea snake is a sea snake that lives in shallow waters around northern Australia, Papua New Guinea and New Caledonia. It is an extremely venomous snake, and it is one of the most venomous snakes in the world. It lives among coral reefs and sandy seabeds, so people who snorkel or dive in these waters may meet it.1
