Papua New Guinea offers the best diving in warm coastal waters, with striking coral reefs around the mainland coast and the islands of the Bismarck Sea and the Milne Bay area.

Deep or shallow reefs, coral walls, sheer drops, barrier reefs, atolls, passages, lagoons and wrecks, all with a unique variety of species, are found throughout the region. A wonderful array of sponge and shelf corals lines the walls of the tropical rainforest fiord, a truly different dive environment.
Nearby the island of New Britain, the Bismarck Archipelago there is wide variety of marine habitats — coral reefs, mangroves, sea-grasses, deep ocean waters and seamounts. The Kimbe bay is part of the Coral Triangle, home to an incredible 76 percent of the world’s coral species. Whales, dolphins and sharks feed and breed in the bay's waters. The Kimbe bay also supports thousands of people who rely on its coral reefs for their food and livelihoods. Delicate coral formations are spreading to enormous size in this bay, which cannot be found on barrier reefs.
Another fantastic dive destination is the Eastern Fields which is to be found 170 km south west of Port Moresby. Located between Papua New Guinea and Australia, the Eastern Fields are a truly unspoiled part of the Coral Sea. Spectacular marine life and reef fish, variety of sharks including the rare white Hammerhead Shark and an abundance of little critters, is ideal for underwater photography.
Rabaul, Kavieng, Port Moresby and Madang are good places to go for wreck diving. Hundreds of wrecks are scattered across the nation above and below the waterline. Boats, planes, barges and submarines, some of them still in excellent condition, have been transformed into living coral reefs.
