Scuba Divers Adventure

(English)

Service:
  • Liveaboard Diving
Company description Welcome to a scuba diver`s adventure to Papua New Guinea (Niugini) featuring the Huli Wigmen of Tari in the highlands, plus Bootless Bay, Milne Bay, Kimbe Bay, the Witu Islands and Kavieng. We visit Ambua Lodge, Loloata Island Resort, Walindi Plantation Resort, the FeBrina live aboard dive boat and the Chertan live aboard dive boat.
On our website you can find some descriptions like:
*Loloata Island Resort
Scuba divers from all over the world have discovered Loloata, where the incredible reefs of Bootless Bay are only minutes from the dock on a first class dive boat with an experienced crew. Dik Knight established Loloata Island Resort back in the early 1970`s and has been hosting adventurous divers ever since. Underwater photographers will be especially thrilled with the myriad opportunities to capture images of rare and unusual species of fish, corals and invertebrates here on some of New Guinea`s finest reefs.
*Diving Walindi Plantation Resort
Service is paramount at Max Benjamin`sWalindi Plantation Resort -- from the dive staff who load, unload and rinse your gear to the housekeeping staff to attend to your every need, you`ll find yourself pampered with genuine island hospitality from the minute you arrive until it`s time to depart. The coral reefs around Walindi are extraordinarily rich. Over 400 species of reef building corals have been recorded in Kimbe Bay. This is more than half the total number of known coral species in the world. Over 900 species of fish have been recorded and this number will continue to grow as more research is done. Walindi Diving has approximately 25 dive sites which are visited regularly from our shore-based dive boats. The nearest dive site is a short 5 minute boat ride and the furthest is only 75 minutes from the jetty.
*M.V. FeBrina Liveaboard Diving
The M.V. FeBrina dives many of the same sites in Kimbe Bay as the Walindi Operation,. In fact the ship leaves from Walindi`s dock, so you can plan to combine diving at Walindi with a week aboard the FeBrina liveaboard with your host, the infamously charming and entertaining Alan Raabe. In addition, FeBrina visits many of the sites beyond the range of the day boats on a regular basis, including the Witu Islands. The ship also visits Father`s Reefs, Rabaul, Duke of York Islands, and Kavieng on special occassions.
For divers who enjoy the abilty to make four or more dives per day, the FeBrina offers an excellent choice, especially for photographers endeavoring to capture the maximum number of images underwater. Unlike diving at Walindi, you`ll rarely have an opportunity to visit the best sites more than once.
*Chertan Liveaboard Diving
Captain RobVan der Loos has been diving in Milne Bay for over twenty years. His knowledge of the marine ecosystem, and the local culture is unmatched in this far southeastern region of Papua New Guinea. The M.V. Chertan is a purpose-built dive boat which operates out of Alotau in Milne Bay. On board Chertan the living is easy. One of the most memorable ``post diving`` experiences is the food, where freshness is the key to describing the rich offerings of the region. A cruise on Chertan offers unlimited diving for the enthusiast as well as an introduction to the local culture.Depending on seasons, creatures come and go in Milne Bay. Here are some of the outstanding dives site visited by Chertan on a regular basis.
