FAQ
What types of wrecks can be dived at Rabaul?
Rabaul harbour contains a diverse collection of WWII Japanese wrecks including submarines, transport ships, barges, and aircraft. The most famous include a Japanese submarine, several large Maru transport vessels, and a near-intact Zero fighter plane. Some wrecks sit in shallow water suitable for recreational divers, while deeper wrecks require advanced certification. The volcanic eruption of 1994 buried some shallower wrecks in ash, but many remain accessible.
Is Rabaul safe to visit given the volcanic activity?
Rabaul has active volcanoes including Tavurvur, which erupted catastrophically in 1994, burying much of the old town. The volcanoes are monitored continuously by the Rabaul Volcanological Observatory, and an early warning system is in place. Dive operators maintain close contact with the observatory and adjust plans if activity increases. The volcanic landscape adds a dramatic dimension to the diving experience, and the mineral-rich water supports lush coral growth.
How do I get to Rabaul for wreck diving?
Air Niugini and PNG Air operate flights from Port Moresby to Tokua airport near Rabaul, with connections sometimes available from Lae or other PNG cities. The flight from Port Moresby takes approximately one hour and forty minutes. Several small dive operators in Rabaul offer guided wreck diving trips. Liveaboard vessels occasionally include Rabaul in their itineraries. Accommodation ranges from simple guesthouses to comfortable lodges in the Kokopo area.
What WWII wrecks can I dive at Wewak?
Wewak was a major Japanese military base during World War II and was subjected to extensive Allied bombing from 1943 to 1945. The harbour and surrounding waters contain multiple wrecks including Japanese transport ships, landing barges, and at least two aircraft. The most accessible wrecks are in the main bay at depths of 10 to 25 metres. Some wrecks have been identified through wartime records while others remain unidentified. The wrecks are heavily encrusted with coral and support dense marine life, making them equally interesting as wreck dives and reef dives.
How do I get to Wewak and arrange diving?
Wewak is accessible by air from Port Moresby with Air Niugini and PNG Air, with flights several times per week. The town has basic infrastructure including hotels and guesthouses. Dive facilities in Wewak are limited compared to more established PNG dive destinations like Kimbe Bay or Milne Bay. You may need to arrange diving through local contacts or a specialist PNG dive travel operator. Some liveaboard operators include Wewak in their itineraries on extended voyages. Bringing your own essential equipment is recommended.
