There is the possibility of good surf at Kavieng between November and February and around Wewak from September to January.
The surrounding waters of PNG is reputed to harbour some of the worlds most spectacular dive sites, unsurpassed underwater scenery and brilliantly clear warm water is complimented by the dramatic landscapes of jungle clad ranges and extinct volcanoes that confront you as you surface from each dive.
One may dive on offshore pinnacles covered in soft corals, sponges and giant gorgonia fans; snorkel over shallow coral reef in clear azure seas that are teeming with tropical reef fish; take a trip back into a more violent period of the history and dive on artefact laden WWII ship and plane wrecks. Visibility in PNG can be 200ft or more on the offshore reefs and is rarely less than 60ft on all but the dirtiest wrecks. Average visibility is 120ft.
