Consider spending your first couple of days at Loloata Island, just outside Port Moresby. The diving is great and this will allow you to acclimate to conditions and check out your gear in a place where you can get it repaired or replaced if you have a problem. They will meet your plane and transport you to the (private) island. They can also fill you in on conditions elsewhere throughout PNG before you head onward.
Kavieng and New Ireland are the best for pelagics and big stuff, Milne Bay world-famous for muck diving.
I wil be spending time at Loloata on the way back from Walindi/Star Dancer, I have diving reservations. I've heard the water isn't as warm as Kimbe Bay.
