Company description Diving Papua New Guinea on the elegant liveaboard MV Golden Dawn offers the finest dive sites and diving in Papua New Guinea.
PNG dive itineraries include the Eastern fields in the Coral Sea, Milne Bay and Northern PNG, Wewak.
Wreck diving and technical diving opportunities abound with nitrox and rebreathers aboard.
With the number of Technical Certified divers increasing and the interest in Rebreathers for Underwater photography and recreational diving, we have fitted our vessel with a line of specialized equipment and services to meet this need.

Location description: The waters around Port Moresby and Eastern Fields are noticeably cooler than other areas due to current streams circulating up from southern latitudes. Temperatures can range between 74-87 deg F (24-28 deg C).
A full wet suit with a minimum of 1/4 inch or 3mm is recommended, as well as a dive skin plus hood.
Therefore you can dive and photograph until your hearts content with being chilled by days end.
The waters in Madang, Wewak area and the Bismark Sea tend to be warmer and dive skins and Lycra suits can be used on a lot of dives, but it is still prudent to bring that wet suit.
There are many interesting for photographers.
Photography is the most popular underwater objective of divers taking our trips. We will be diving in some of the most photogenic waters of the world. Experienced photographers will find reefs, fish life and visibility absolutely excellent for both stills, video and movies. Bring all the film, tapes, batteries etc. with you, as such supplies are usually not available, or very expensive. If you have any foreign-made equipment, such as cameras, binoculars, tape-recorders, transistor radios, etc. We strongly recommend registering them with the U.S. Customs Service (or that of your home country) before departing. This can be done by visiting the Customs Office in person, or perhaps more conveniently, at the Gateway City as you depart. Present whatever you want to register to the Customs officials who will record the serial number and validation form which you should keep with your passport. This serves as proof that the article was not purchased abroad; otherwise you may have to pay duty upon returning to the US/ Europe etc.
Some about trips to Coral Sea:
This area of the Coral Sea is rarely troubled by the cyclone`s passing by on their way to the southern latitudes leaving the coral in pristine condition. Being close to the eastern approaches of the Torres Strait (the name for the passage of water between Australia and Papua New Guinea) gives this area the currents that attract the pelagic marine life such as schools of large Dog Tooth, Yellow fin, Blue fin Tuna, Spanish Mackerel and Wahoo. Eagle and Manta rays can be found patrolling the walls, as well as schools of horse eye jacks in their balling formations and schools of spiralling Barracuda. On our shark dives Grey reef Sharks and their elegant brothers the Silver tips are frequently encountered. The Great
and Scalloped hammerhead shark will often make an appearance when you least expect it! You will enjoy dive sites like ``Carls Ultimate``, where the marine life is so rich and diverse that it is not uncommon for divers to do 12 dives and still ask for more. The small and the unexpected should not be left out, with species of Nudibranch and Flat worm we have not been able to identify as yet! Many different types of Shrimp Goby, Blennies and clouds of Anthias and Fusiliers are to be found while diving.
