Location

Kimbe Bay on New Britain Island in PNG.

Dive Overview

The marine life in Papua New Guinea, and particularly West New Britain, is amazing. Located in the coral triangle, there are vibrant and colorful reefs, clear water, abundant macro life, pelagic schools of fish and sharks. Visibility is generally 80-150 feet and water temp varies between 85-90F. Kimbe Bay, where Walindi Resort is located (MV FeBrina's home dock) is home to over half the world's coral species.

[See: Papua New Guinea Dive Travel Guide]

Accommodation Overview

The MV FeBrina has 7 cabins that comfortably accommodate up to 12 divers. All cabins have ensuite facilities and individually controlled air conditioning. Towels are changed daily (unless requested otherwise) and the rooms are laid out to maximize space and storage of personal items. Guests may choose between a double cabin, four twin cabins or two single cabins, providing flexibility for both individual and group travelers.

Reviews

The MV FeBrina experience is a treat indeed !Being welcomed aboard by lovely Josie and taken to my air conditioned cabin was a delight. This boat is super comfy. The cabins have all been recently updated and are clean, spacious and very well appointed. The crew was a pleasure to spend the week with. The diving was spectacular ! The array of dive sites and beasties was incredible. I felt high on sensory overload every dive. Such diversity and abundance of sea life I have never experienced before. Soft corals, hard corals, crinoids, nudibranchs, sea slugs, crabs of all kinds and the fish life !!! Seriously, the abundance of fish large, small and weird is fabulous ! Juveniles of every species is a joy to see. Clownfish protectively patrolling their anemones everywhere in many different colors. Pygmy seahorse, Titan trigger fish , Cuttle fish and of course Sharks. The silvertip sharks were my favorite. With two divemasters on critter watch every dive something special was found literally every time.If you love diving book this trip. I can hardly wait to get back and do it again !

The FeBrina is a comfortable boat that sleeps 12 guests and sails from Walindi Pantation to the reefs of KImbe Bay for the majority of the year. Walindi is reached via an internal PNG flight from Port Moresby to Hoskins Airport and a 90 minute drive. Our trip was in August with air temperatures in the low 30’s °C and water temperature a constant 29-30°C.The cabins are comfortable and air conditioned and the staff provide a daily laundry service which means you can survive on minimal clothing if you need your luggage allowance for more important things like dive gear and cameras.Food is plentiful and varied, using local produce as much as possible.The crew, from kitchen staff to dive guides are extremely friendly and helpful. Camera facilities are good, with benches and open lockers provided for each diver on deck. The guides are exceptional at finding interesting animals for photographers and non-photographers alike. The briefings are clear and accurate, probably a reflection of the extensive experience they have of the sites. Up to five dives a day are available, with nitrox as an option. There is little current to worry about and the nature of the reefs make long slow ascents a real pleasure.The majority of dives are at coral outcrops in the Bismark Sea and these show an amazing variety in substrate and fish life between sites. The soft corals are most impressive, as are the schools of fish experienced at some reefs. There is one site (Restorf Island) that will satisfy those interested in muck dives, which is also a great night dive. There is no end of nudibranchs and other cryptic animals. The scenery is spectacular, and the macro life is prolific. You won’t be disappointed by the opportunities provided on this trip.
