Papua New Guinea, situated north 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 and high mountain ranges. Not to mention spectacular scuba diving sites.
Many relics from World War 2 remain, both on land and underwater, providing a great opportunity to scuba divers to explore famous ships and aircraft upclose.
Culturally, PNG is extremely diverse with over 700 individual language groups 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 is also home to several liveaboard dive vessels that conduct diving expeditions to the more remote wreck diving and snorkeling sites.
