Archipelago Diving

Rabaul & New Britain, Papua New Guinea

Archipelago Diving takes you right into the thick of New Ireland, and honestly, they do a good job of mixing the diving with a bit of local culture. Their trips are longer, usually 7 to 12 days, heading out twice a month, which works well if you're looking to properly unplug. We’ve seen them consistently hit those WWII wrecks – both planes and ships – and if you’re into big fish, the barracuda schools around here can be immense, often with some serious shark action following close behind. It’s a solid pick for divers who want more than just the underwater experience, those who appreciate a deeper dive into the region's history and its people.
