Diving Facilities

We have huge dedicated dive deck build up specifically to accommodate your diving excursion. Specifically designed for liveaboard diving excursions, the Pearl of Papua provides gear-up stations assigned for each diver throughout the expedition, rinse tank, a dedicated camera table and battery charging stations (both 110V and 220V). 

All your diving gear will be stored in one place, so assembling your dive equipment would be as easy as to count 1-2-3. Our dive crew is always there to help you.

Before and after the dive, there is an outdoor shower to rinse you up. You will be diving from two tender boats with back-roll entry. Our tender will be waiting for you in the surface in case you surface earlier that the rest of your group. Overall dive plan is made with safety and comfort in mind. Nitrox dive available for certified nitrox diver (USD 5/tank).
