From the tropics, add damsel, moorish idols, tuna, barracuda, sharks, marine iguanas, seahorses, batfish, mantas, and a few other strange animals. Wait until Darwin shows up to explain it, and voilá! You have the Galapagos, the inspiration for Darwin's world-famous "Origin of Species." The diving is superb and highly diverse while our topside island excursions offer a true National Geographic experience.


tripDescription:
Truly one of our planet's last frontiers, Papua New Guinea is among the last inhabited places to be explored and certainly one of the premiere diving locations known to man. Papua New Guinea has it all—world-class diving, Stone Age villages, the Mudmen and the Wigmen, fascinating ancient cultural and religious rites. Underwater the rewards are overwhelming, and include schools of manta rays in Madang; killer whales, dolphins, and dugongs and the rarest of nudibranchs in Hoskins; all with exquisite reef formations.

No diver can claim to have dived the very best of the Caribbean unless they have experienced the incredible island archipelago of Los Roques.

Los Roques is for the seasoned Caribbean diver seeking "fish country" mingled with thick forests of soft corals, unending stretches of virgin hard corals, huge schools of marine life, perpendicular dropoffs, caverns, and pinnacles. The diving is absolutely superb, similar to what existed in other popular Caribbean destinations several decades ago, and action-packed dives are the norm in Los Roques.

Experience the ultimate underwater symphony. Lose yourself among the stunning dropoffs of the Tiran Straits, Ras Mohammed or the Brother Islands. On sheer vertical walls plunging to great depths, divers are amazed with the incredible kaleidoscope of massive hard and multi-hued soft corals teeming with clouds of gold anthias and exotic reef life. This is a world where sea fans commonly measure up to 15 feet across, and where the display of colors boggle the mind.
