An Underwater and Diving Paradise

Known as an underwater paradise, PNG has received many accolades for its underwater photography and is on most seasoned diver's "must-visit" list. The oceans surrounding PNG boast up to twice as many marine species as the Red Sea and five times more than the Caribbean.

With a huge coastline and many offshore islands, there are so many amazing diving locations to choose from. You'll enjoy a huge diversity of dive sites, including barrier reefs, coral walls, coral gardens, patch reefs, fringing reefs, seagrass beds, coral atolls, and WWII wreck dive sites of ships, aircraft, and submarines. It's truly like nowhere on earth!

Most coastal lodges offer diving, snorkelling, beach and pool facilities and plenty of opportunity for pure relaxation, but if you want to also take in some of the extraordinary cultural aspects of this land there are alternative activities such as village visits, WWII sites and nature trails. We have chosen a few of our favourite spots around the country to showcase the best of what's on offer.
