Days 2-9:
Cape Gloucester
Cape Gloucester is expected to offer pristine coral reefs, dramatic underwater topography, and a wide diversity of marine life. We’re expecting the healthy corals to support reef sharks, turtles, and large schools of barracuda, making this a compelling destination for exploratory diving.
Ritter Island
A volcanic eruption in 1888 left behind a small, uninhabited crescent-shaped island rising 140 meters above the sea and stretching 1.9 kilometers in length. Its steep underwater slopes and deep surrounding waters suggest more fascinating dive sites to be discovered.
Siassi and Umboi Islands
Umboi Island is a volcanic island located between mainland Papua New Guinea and New Britain beside the Dampier Strait. The surrounding Siassi archipelago has seen limited commercial development, and satellite imagery shows crystal-clear turquoise waters and white-sand beaches. There will be a lot to explore in this area.
