We steam all night until we reach Rabaul, none of our group has been up here before, so we were all excited to see the volcano that nearly robbed us of our flight to Hoskins! Two very suspicious volcano's going off all day long, that is by far the most unbelievable site to behold.

Allan Raabe has found some fantastic dive sights here now with some special items such as a red anemone with spine cheek clown fish, percula clown fish and bonnet head clown fish all on the same small bommie. Hairy squat lobsters on barrel sponge, scorpion leaf fish, marvelous scorpion fish, lettuce coral and of course all the splendor of the soft and hard corals!

To end our trip in Rabaul we dived Al's Place and Sandra's Jetty. Sandy bottom with rubble filled with octopus, lion fish, sting rays anemone fishes, harlequin ghost pipe fish (a giant one!). Skunk head clown fish, with 2 immense barber shop shrimps, unusual nudibranchs. Near the jetty they found us, panda clown fish, razor fish trying to hide, a baby cuttle fish, and very cute green box fish with horns, and finally Alphie found me NORMAL sea horse!!! It has been years since I have seen one and I love it! Frog fish on the jetty poles, pipe fish, juvenile bat fish & emperor angel fish. Our last dive some people saw the incredible Mimic Octopus!

We were so happy and content with the richness of these waters and the diversity of these immaculate untouched reefs! Imagine that still exists.................

Papua New Guinea, has so much to offer, many different dive areas with different underwater scenes and wildlife. I will be back, again and again.
