Papua new guinea is home to some of the worlds' most spectacular diving experiences and diving is reputed to be as good as it is in the Caribbean and the Great Barrier Reef.. Located in the Pacific Ocean it is said to have twice as many marine species as the waters of the Red Sea, and up to five times as many as the Caribbean. From tiny, delicate nudibranche to the world's biggest fish - harmless whale shark - divers encounter a stunning array of exotic species. |
In recent times scuba divers have realised the potential of Papua New Guinea. Port Moresby, Rabaul and Madang offer a wide variety of dives ranging from wrecks to reefs. Diving holidays can also be arranged at locations such as Loloaka and off the island of New Britain, the latter being considered one of the best diving areas in Papa New Guinea.
