MV FEBRINA

"Every dive will be a new experience"

MV FeBrina, together with skipper/owner Alan Raabe, has been working in Papua New Guinea waters since 1991 when the vessel arrived at Walindi Resort. The quality diving experience MV FeBrina offers can be quantified by the high number of repeat clientele she enjoys.

FeBrina cruises from her home port, Walindi Plantation Resort, visiting areas further afield such as Witu Islands, Fathers Reefs, South Coast New Britain and Rabaul. FeBrina's signature itinerary is Kimbe Bay, Witu Islands and Fathers Reefs which is offered in April, May and June, September, October and November.

During July and August, FeBrina cruises between Walindi and Rabaul, diving Kimbe Bay, Fathers Reefs and Rabaul. January, February and March see FeBrina exploring the Southern Coast of New Britain, based out of Rabaul. On selected itineraries during the year, the boat also visits the New Hanover area up towards Kavieng.

FeBrina is a very comfortable and stable vessel, offering seven, roomy, air conditioned cabins in a combination of double, twin and single configurations for a maximum of 12 divers. The well laid out dive deck and water level duck board make your diving a breeze. With permanent moorings on most dive sites, your gear all set up and ready for you and an attentive dive crew on hand to assist with camera gear, diving couldn't be easier.

The crew on MV Febrina are some of the most experienced in Papua New Guinea, most having been with us for many years. Our dive guides know the area like the back of their hands and have the most amazing eye for sighting even the most elusive or tiny creatures.

Meals are provided by a top class chef and are fresh and plentiful, with lots of yummy snacks in between dives. All of our crew are here to ensure you have the best possible dive vacation, both above and below the water.

MV STAR DANCER

About Star Dancer

With the introduction of two new itineraries for 2005, the M/V Star Dancer offers divers the opportunity to visit many times without ever repeating sites.

From January through March and during July and August, Star Dancer embarks from Rabaul, rich in history and protected from the southeasterly tradewinds by the Gazelle Peninsular. In the early months, Star Dancer leaves Rabaul for the South Coast of New Britain Island where divers enjoy some of the best critter diving available along with an exciting up-the-river trip to a fresh water blue hole for more diving. In July and August, the diving around Rabaul offers great variety from lovely fans and whips to sharks to frog fish and much more.

The rest of the year, Star Dancer embarks from Walindi Plantation located on West New Britain Island on the east side of the Willaumez Peninsula, offering a variety of itineraries which include Kimbe Bay, Father's Reef, Lolabau Island and the Witu Islands. On certain special itineraries Star Dancer also visits Kavieng on the northern tip of New Ireland.

A note from Alan Raabe ….

If you are planning to join us on FeBrina or Star Dancer, I would just like to go over the different itineraries we do at different times of the year and the reasons behind this.

North Coast New Britain itineraries …..

Let’s start with the weather conditions in a normal year on the North coast of New Britain in Papua New Guinea. January, February and March on the North Coast of New Britain is our monsoon season with north westerly winds. From mid-December to mid-January is usually a change over period, i.e. from doldrums (light and variable wind) to north westerly winds and rain. March is a change over period and April is normally a prime month. So the best times to visit us for a North coast itinerary is between April and November, when we can offer a pretty damned special and diverse dive experience... more about FeBrina - Star Dancer itineraries >>
