Muck Diving

Our resort wharf will never cease to amaze you. The term “Muck Diving” was invented here in PNG.

Right at the jetty, in front of the dive shop, a new world awaits the unsuspecting diver. In amongst the rubble of dumped machinery and Coca-Cola bottles from WWII, a wide variety of little critters have made their home.

Every conceivable species of gobie, nudibranch, mandarin fish, ghost pipe, banded pipe and a plethora of other fascinating creatures, offers the diver a Mecca for underwater macro photography. All this in less than 10m (32ft) of water!

During a night dive the inhabitants of this area are totally transformed and one cannot recognize it as the same dive done during daylight hours.

The location of our dive shop complex was once a US base for PT boats during WWII. Here you can dive in and around the remains of two PT boats, sunk during an air raid in 1942. A couple of anti-aircraft machine guns are still scattered around.

One of the highlights of this dive is a perfectly good ol’ Landrover. The secret of how it got to be ‘parked’ there so neatly will be revealed after you complete this dive! This is a decompression dive with maximum depth of 45m (147.6ft).

Decompression stops are compulsory and surface intervals of 4 hours are mandatory before the second dive.
