Where do we start?

Most Niugini Diving expeditions depart from Lae, the capital of Morobe Province and the gateway to the highland areas of Papua New Guinea. The city is nestled between New Britain and the Huon Peninsula, which are blanketed by impenetrable rainforest and mountains. Lae was host to the gold rush days of the 1920s when Lae and Salamaua played a major part in the development of the goldfields at Wau and Bololo.

Situated twenty miles to the south of Lae, today Salamaua is a sleepy little weekend get-away for the local residents. However, in the 1920s Salamaua was a thriving port until it was demolished in WWII.

Further north towards Lae is Maus Buang which is a breeding site of the leatherback turtle. These turtles can weigh up to five hundred kilograms and measure up to two metres in length. They come ashore to lay their eggs from November to February each year and during this season guests are encouraged to visit their breeding grounds
