One of the wonderful things about Papua New Guinea is the variety of diving areas. It is a vast country and you could easily spend months just diving here; the offshore reefs of Tufi, the sharks of New Ireland, macro in Milne Bay and pristine reefs at Walindi to name but a few make for a very special diving trip. Add in lots to explore on land both in terms of culture and wildlife and you can see why we are such big fans of Papua New Guinea.
