Papua New Guinea, situated north of the Continent of Australia and south of the
Equator is the tail end of a string of islands spilling down from South
East Asia into the Pacific. 
Papua New Guinea comprises of a remarkable collection of islands, atolls
and coral reefs scattered around it's coastline.A land of natural wilderness,
breathtaking landscapes, fascinating flora and fauna. A land of adventure,
mystery, lost cultures, tropical jungles, high mountains.
Land of contrast. Culturally, PNG is equally diverse with over
700 individual language groupings being identified. The customs, traditions,
beliefs and ceremonies were handed down by the old to the young by word
of mouth. There was no written language in PNG until contact with the Western
world which in some cases only occurred about 30 years ago.
The main destinations are New Britain Province ( Rabaul,
Walindi & Hoskins
), New Ireland Province ( Kavieng
) & Madang.
 Papua
New Guinea also has Liveaboards
that conduct diving explorations to the more remote sites.
The waters surrounding P.N.G are exotic and still vastly unexplored.
The thousands of coral atolls with crystal clear blue waters abound in
a myriad of spectacular marine life and hundreds of wrecks. P.N.G without
a doubt offers some of the most fascinating underwater experiences. Amidst
the reefs and schools of fish one encounters numerous wrecks, a reminder
of the violence and struggle in which P.N.G participated during the tragic
days of WWII. Wrecks of ships and planes the afore machines of destruction
now overgrown with corals rest at the bottom of the ocean floor and are
home to many sea dwellers, presenting a display of serenity and colour.
For divers, Papua New Guinea is a paradise. Shipwrecks, ditched
aircraft, vertical wall drop offs, beautiful coral reefs and myriads of
reef and school fish await the diver prepared for a true adventure.
