Plongée à Papua New Guinea — Papua New Guinea
Papua New Guinea sits within the Coral Triangle and combines extraordinary biodiversity with a treasure trove of WWII wrecks from the Pacific theater. Milne Bay is revered as the muck diving capital of the world, where mimic octopuses, flamboyant cuttlefish, and bizarre critters emerge from volcanic sand under your torch beam. Kimbe Bay's pristine reefs and seamounts attract mantas and schooling barracuda in waters that few divers ever reach.
