Papua New Guinea


Hubby managed to squeeze in a diving trip while doing time at Papua New Guinea. It was just off the coast of the capital, Port Moresby. He was taken to the coast by the dive centre operators because driving there was 'hazardous', as one had to drive through hostile areas! Thereafter, it was just a short boat ride to the diving spot.


He went for 3 day dives and reckons the place is more beautiful than Manado, but still not as gorgeous as Sipadan Island. There was an abundance of huge fish, and they amazingly did not seem wary of humans at all! This is why he could take such close-up photos of these graceful fishes.


Camoflouge fishes stay still, so it's not hard to photograph them as long as you can spot them in the first place!


Hubby and friends also visited the local market there. It is not a place you want to go unless you have a guide, or even better, some bodyguards! (His friend was almost pick-pocketed even though they were with a guide.)

Look at their wonderful natural supply of seafood! Hubby must've been drooling...
