For divers in the Indo-Pacific region, Papua New Guinea offers a greater variety of marine species than anywhere else on earth. This is one of the world's richest and last remaining coral reef systems.

Papua New Guinea is one of the last frontiers of travel. It was the last inhabited place on earth to be explored by western man, and even today some parts of the country have made little contact with the West.

If you are looking for an adventure destination with clean air, a natural environment, sun and open spaces, then you have made a wise choice in coming to Papua New Guinea. Unlike many other parts of the world, there are no overcrowded commercial resorts.

Papua New Guinea still retains its long traditions and culture. For the visitor it is a rewarding experience. Where else in the world can you take a boat down a river famed for its dynamic art, witness outrageous costumes and tribal dances, climb a smoking volcano and dive on some of the most spectacular reefs in the world? Ask us about our guided tours to the annual Sing Sing in the highlands, a not-to-be missed anthropological treat.

Papua New Guinea lies between the Equator and northern Australia. The country is surrounded by three seas: the Bismarck Sea to the north, the Solomon Sea to the east and the Coral Sea to the south. Dotted with volcanoes, many still active, it is crossed by an impressive mountain chain, the third highest in the world.

The underwater world is pristine with year round accessibility, a coral paradise of unequalled richness. It has an abundant variety of diving sites including deep and shallow reefs, coral walls, barrier reefs, atolls, passes, lagoons and wrecks. Sea fans and soft corals often reach enormous size, and large pelagic fishes patrol along the edge of the reef. The variety of fish is unending; every year biologists discover new species to classify.

One of the unique characteristics for diving in PNG is the deep water which comes very close to the shore. Just a few feet from the beach, vertical wall reefs drop down over 1000 feet. This type of underwater wall exists along much of the mainland and around much of New Britain, the south west coasts of New Ireland and New Hanover, and around many of the other islands in the Bismarck and Louisiade Archipelagos. Off the coast are countless small islands and reefs as well as hundreds of wrecks to be explored.
