Diving in Papua New Guinea
An underwater wonderland....
Papua New Guineas' underwater world is truly spectacular, world-renowned and PNG has long been a sought-after and exclusive dive destination. The surrounding seas and their reefs are widely recognised as having the greatest marine diversity in the world, almost completely free from the negative impacts of commercial exploitation reefs are in pristine condition, alive and teeming with all forms of marine life.
Most dive operators cater for all levels of experience and most have dive gear and other equipment for hire. Waters are warm (25 to 30 degrees) so wetsuits are not a necessity.
