Explore Papua New Guinea

Papua New Guinea (PNG) occupies the eastern half of New Guinea, as well as over 600 smaller islands and atolls. Referred to by some as the “wild, wild west of diving”, this country is remote - off-the-beaten-track locations require small local planes and often lengthy travel times due to the lack of main roads. 

The beauty of the lush rainforests above the water is echoed in the more than 52,000kmsq2 of unspoilt coral reefs below. Most dive centres are found around the coast of the main island, with some dive resorts on the east coast and New Britain. Though dive courses are offered by most, Papua New Guinea diving is better suited to divers with a few dives under their belt. One of the best ways to dive Papua New Guinea is on a liveaboard. You will get to explore further away from the islands, perhaps even on dive sites where no one has been before. 

The peaceful remoteness of PNG is a key draw, seeing no other divers is a frequent occurrence. The original muck diving, WWII plane wrecks, coral atolls and marine life, including hammerheads and whale sharks, are just the icing on the cake.
