MY Febrina; Liveaboard diving in Papua New Guinea; 8.8 out of 10 and is rated 'Fabulous'; from £286, $349, €326/day. Customer Review:
”Dive guiding at its best. Febrina has a sort of cult status among divers interested in taking pictures of creatures rarely seen. Let me just say that I have the top five photos of my ”all time greats” collection after a single trip on Febrina. My camera was guided by Digger who accompanied me one to one during some of the dives fellow divers were not enthusiastic about. Yes, we dove some of the sites more than once, but you are bound to miss something on each dive, so I found this an advantage when planning the best possible photo/video shots. Digger’s experience is matched by the enthusiasm of divemaster Jocey creating a lively atmosphere on the boat and in the water. She even has a divesite named after her… Considering the price the boat is OK, the food is fine and divers move in and out of the water using a comfortable platform at the end of the boat, so even the physically challenged feel safe. What you really pay for is the unbelievable variety of species coupled by some of the best guides I ever went under with. Febrina is frequented by returning divers for a reason, and I will join them in the future.” Recommended for: Photo/video opportunities, selection of divesites, knowledge of guides.
MY Oceania; Liveaboard diving in Papua New Guinea; 8.8 out of 10 and is rated 'Fabulous'; from £337, $411, €384/day. Customer Review:
”Fish fest in the Bismarck Sea. Well run, comfortable boat with healthy reefs and easy diving. The Vitu Islands itinerary gives you a nice mix of reefs and muck dives, and though you are in quite a remote corner of the world, they do everything they can to make things as easy as possible. Keep in mind that for the time being, Visa on arrival is suspended, and local immigration can be slow and difficult to get a hold of. Plan for this.” Recommended for: Fish, muck diving, tasty dinners.

Liveaboard diving Papua New Guinea is like diving in an amazing aquarium, with great marine life, World War II wrecks and the chance to muck dive where muck diving was invented.

In case you’ve not heard the expression “Muck Diving“, muck diving is defined as diving on a muddy, sandy or silty bottom in search of tiny creatures, or ‘muck critters‘. Muck diving is all about taking it really slowly and looking carefully, as many of these creatures are tiny and can be missed very easily.
If you want convincing of how much fun this can be and how it becomes an underwater photographers dream, please watch this video of the array of muck critters found in Papua New Guinea.
