First, let me say I am not a writer. After a lifetime of diving th Caribbean and Central America, we decided to venture West or Western Pacific. We went to livaboad and land based resorts in Fiji,Philippines and Micronesia. I have been reading Undercurrents for years and have planned many a trip from the reader reports, I have decided to write a report, to pay back all the subscribers who have taken the time to write in. Mike Ball & PNG, all I can say is "OH MY GOD" plan your trip & get your tickets, it is BEYOND words. We flew Qantas to Sydney, (not a very friendly airlines) then to Carines, and finally to Port Morsby and Kimbe on the worlds oldest Foker 100's. What a long trip, but well worth the time. The Paradise Sport, docks at the Walindi Resort for the Kimbe trips. The Mike Ball and Paradise Sport is a perfectly run operation, from the Capt Larry and DM Leeane and the cook Waz, to the rest of the crew, WOW. I can only tell you folks that live and breath diving, get over there now.PNG is healthy and in AAA condition, the fish are everywhere and plenty of sharks, don't miss the village visit and the MUCK diving in the extinct volcano, critters, abound. This place should be on the "Must Dive" list of everyone who has 2 weeks or more to travel. I am a tech and rebreather diver, who was bored with diving, I am now REBORN, can't wait to return. |
