Our trip follows Oceania’s Signature Itinerary, exploring three of Papua New Guinea’s most spectacular regions: Kimbe Bay, the Witu Islands, and the Fathers Reefs. You’ll dive colorful coral gardens, deep walls, and seamounts rich with marine life: from tiny pygmy seahorses to schools of barracuda and cruising reef sharks. The diversity here is staggering, with more than half of the world’s coral species found in these waters.
Between dives, enjoy calm seas, breathtaking scenery, and a level of solitude that few places on earth can offer. Papua New Guinea remains one of the last true frontiers in diving: wild, colorful, and unforgettable.

This journey takes you aboard the MV Oceania, the newest liveaboard in the region and part of the long-standing Walindi Plantation Resort family. Known for its warm hospitality and dedication to conservation, the Walindi team has been showing divers the beauty of these reefs for decades.
