Papua New Guinea is becoming known as one of the world's best diving areas for good reason. Papua New Guinea is a remote and unspoiled land of great tropical rivers, crashing waterfalls, high mountains, spectacular volcanoes and thick, misty rainforest. Many of the Melanesian people still life a simple subsistence life with complex tribal traditions. The flora and fauna are amazing, exotic, and varied.

This is a place to dive with atmosphere, adventure, and crystal clear waters. Throughout the region you will find deep or shallow reefs, coral walls, sheer drops, barrier reefs, atolls, passages, lagoons, wrecks, and a unique variety of species.

New Guinea, the main island of Papua New Guinea, lies 160 km north of Australia. New Guinea is double the size of the UK and makes up 85% of Papua New Guinea. The rest is made up 600 tropical islands small and large. The west part of the main island is part of Indonesia.

One distinguishing feature of Papua New Guinea is the closeness of dive sites to the islands. Another appealing feature of diving here is the deep water with reef walls dropping up to 1000 feet or more, that can be found just a few feet from the shore in many areas, including most of the northern coastline, on the southern shores of New Ireland and New Hanover as well in some areas of the Milne Bay. In the more sheltered bays such as Kimbe Bay in West New Britain the coral is vast.

Scattered above and below the waterline around Papua New Guinea are hundreds of wrecks of boats, planes, barges and submarines. Many of them are from W.W.II. and some are still in excellent condition. Rabaul, Kavieng, Loloata (Port Moresby) and Madang are good places to go for wreck diving.

The Eastern Fields, found 170 km south west of Port Moresby, between Papua New Guinea and Australia, are a particularly amazing dive area and a truly unspoilt part of the Coral Sea.

For excellent charters in Papua New Guinea and the surrounding area, consider the beautiful MY Eeendracht and her experienced crew. Between October to December 2010 Eendracht will be visiting the Milne Bay area, D'Entrecasteaux Islands, Trobriand Islands, Woodlark Islands and the Louisiade Archipelago in the Milne Bay Province of Papua New Guinea. These areas offer a unique mixture of scuba diving, snorkelling, fishing, spectacular island scenery as well as exotic cultural experiences. The Milne Bay Province (MBP) is easy to access with daily direct flights from Port Moresby to Gurney airport in Alotau the provincial capital of MBP. The area is known for its remoteness and friendly inhabitants.
