It has been 6 yrs since I last chartered Febrina! It was great to be back!!! We had a lovely group of guests with us, our itinerary started in Kimbe Bay / Walindi to the Witu Islands with Dicky Doyle, Fathers Reef system and ending in Rabaul (with the volcano going off) l!!!!

It was great to have Dicky on board with us for a few days, full of great knowledge of PNG history and helping to find the scores of the World Series! The crew is the best I have seen on Febrina thus far! Josie the lead dive instructor/dive master has eyes of a hawk, 25 ft away she can spot the tiniest nudibranch or quarter size frog fish. Jonah and Alfie are there to show us all the nudi's, harlequin pipe fish, you name it! Great food prepared by Valia, she has been on Febrina for as along as I have been bringing groups on her, I was so happy to be home! Allan Raabe has done a superb job on finding and training the crew for Febrina and Star Dancer, and searching out new and exciting dive sites!

I have been diving and escorting groups all over the world for 15 years now. Visiting Indonesia, Milne Bay, Africa, Socorro, Great White sharks & Alaska since my last PNG (Bismark Sea) dive trip. This would mark the 6th time diving in Papua New Guinea. Coming back to PNG has proved to be the most diverse and pristine dive destination I have yet to experience. I love Indonesia with all its wild critters and diversity and culture. However with all reef bombing and shark fining that this country has been plagued with it makes you realize how healthy and outstanding Papua New Guinea is!!

There is no comparison. PNG wins in every category: diversity of marine life, health of the reefs, (NO bombing), a healthy shark population, we encountered Silver tips, Gray Reef and white tip sharks on about half of all our dives! Hard and soft corals, black coral forests, sea whips, gorgonians, giant sea fans, schools of baracudda's, jacks, surgeon fish. The reefs of PNG offer busy water, full of schools of many varieties of fish!

Starting in Kimbe Bay, Joy's Reef offered 2 harlequin ghost pipe fishes, I found the big one myself! Restorf Island amazing as always with the tiniest pygmy sea horse I have every barely seen! Mantis shrimps and the vast forests of Black coral.

Joelle's reef is adorned with big schools of baracudda, jacks, tuna, Spanish mackerel, turtles and every brand of anemone fish. A lovely reef with soft and hard corals.

Dicky's Place has those amazing Melanesian Percula Clown fish, these are endemic to this area, they have very thick black outlines of the white stripes on these beautiful clown fish. Also loads of mantis shrimps, ghost pipe fish, nudi's of all sorts. There are great muck dives in the crater here also on black sand; blue and black ribbon eels, inimicus (devil fish), mandarin fish, twin spot gobies, heaps of tiny pipe fish all over the bottom.
