Kavieng, PNG

I am thinking of going on a liveaboard out of Kavieng, Papua New Guineau
next August. The two options seem seem to be the Paradise Sport with Mike
Ball and the Febrina.

I have dived previously with Mike Ball - the Spoilsport to the Coral
Sea, any one been on the Febrina or heard anything to compare them?

Thanks

Rocky

No.....but flew into Kavieng,,,,,,,,,tiny airport if you can call it that,
runway in a field.......and an old tractor to pull the gear of the plane.

The diving out of Kavieng was awesome, great walls, sea as flat as a sheet
of glass.....30C+ water temp, it has the highest average all year round
water temp.......as i say, the sea was flat but underneath the current was
raging........great for watching Pilot Whales and Dolphins.....

I had a "moment" on one dive when seperated from my buddy.........my body
still pumps adrenalin I'm glad to say.

Why did separation from your buddy cause you an adrenaline rush?

I've done some of my most relaxed diving solo.

Maybe it was his buddy's turn to pick up the aprez-dive bar tab.

But booze is cheap out there!

Long story, but quickly........on my own, making my way back to the boat
(which was'nt there when i got there) running out of air, being circled by
4 "Oceanics" all the way back to the (non existant) boat, could'nt come up
above 12 metres as the current would have taken me....and a computer that
was telling me i had 29 mins of deco to do.........there was no boat at
the mooring bouy, and me just "lolling" about on the surface with 4
"Oceanics" somewhere below...........when things go wrong they dont follow
a structured procedure......they kinda make up the "gone wrong" rules as
they go.......
