    Hold-up at Tawali

    I have dived all over PNG and my favorite area is around Kavieng. Great pelagic diving, beautiful reefs, some nice wrecks and good muck diving. All the bases covered. Lissenung island is very relaxing and they know every dive site in the area.

    Hold-up at Tawali

    This is not the first time this has happened at Tawali, I stayed there about 6 years ago and a few weeks after I left I happened for the first time. The managers who were there at the time left after to go back working as cruise directors on one of the Aggressor boats since they were so shook up...

    Kiribati liveaboard

    moving to SW FL

    Honest answer......the diving along this coast is not great anywhere! There is a reason most people go over to the Atlantic Coast to dive not in the Gulf.

    Someone post a good PNG trip report.....preferably from the MV Febrina....any takers?

    Having been to PNG many times I can confirm it can be a pain travelling around there and it does seem to be getting worse BUT the experience of the whole country is worth it. The diving is amazing but everything else should not be ignored. The country is fantastic, the people, the geography it...

    Gates housings for Canon Vixia

    I have only used my new Housing for one trip to Indonesia. Going to HD from miniDV SD is a big jump with much more to think about and get right. MiniDv SD is more forgiving there is no doubt about that. The one area that you have to put lots of effort into is white balance and if you go too...
