PNG on the FeBrina; Kimbe Bay, Witu Islands, Kavieng and Fathers Reef

Hi All,

Just got back from a great 12 day trip on the FeBrina doing their usual Bismark Sea itinerary plus a few days in Kavieng. Diving was great. Alan was as colorful and entertaining a person as I've ever met and the dive guides headed by Josie and Digger did a fantastic job of critter spotting. About the only downside was that the reefs in Kavieng looked a bit beaten up with quite a bit of dead hard coral. This was a surprise to the crew (who hadn't been up that way in a couple of years). Not sure what the issue was. The other areas were in beautiful shape.

Here's a sample. Link to the full gallery below.

Great shots Clinton.

Brought back a lot of good memories, I'd recommend anyone considering PNG or Febrina, to go into your galleries and have a look at the topside photos. Thanks for posting them.
