From 3 December 2016, Air Niugini is to launch twice weekly air services between Port Moresby, capital of Papua New Guinea, and Chuuk and Pohnpei in the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). Chuuk (sometimes spelled Truk) is renowned for being home to the World’s largest sunken fleet of Japanese WWII ships.

To test the market, three special flights were planned to operate to FSM before the scheduled passenger services commence. The first of the three special flights operated last week on 1 September from Port Moresby to Chuuk and later Pohnpei before returning to POM. It took 2hrs and 40 minutes to reach Chuuk and an hour across to Pohnpei before coming back to POM.

Most passengers on board the flight were Australian divers; about 50 of them who got off in Chuuk, the rest were individuals attending the Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) and businessmen based in Solomon Islands.

The next special flight will operate this week on 7 September to uplift delegation for PIF.

Once the scheduled passenger service comes into effect from December, Air Niugini will be operating two return air services a week, every Wednesday and Saturday from Port Moresby to Chuuk and Pohnpei.

These flights enable passengers between the Pacific, Australia, Indonesia, Philippines and FSM to connect through Port Moresby, saving considerable time and airfares.

South Coast New Britain diving is a wonderland of rare and unusual critters. If you are a photographer and enjoy macro and critters, South Coast New Britain is sure to delight!

Around the Lindenhaven area, the contours of the Solomon Trench (the third deepest part of the world’s oceans) come in very close. In Captain Alan’s opinion, this is the reason that we get so many extraordinary critters in this area, some of which we can’t find in any resource books.

As many of the dives are not overly deep, FeBrina will often run an “open deck” as the reefs in this are area prolific and there are many, many reefs that have not yet been dived. The topside scenery is amazing with many small, uninhabited islands with white sand beaches. There are a couple of clean rivers that run from high in the rainforest down to the sea, one of which comes out of the side of a mountain. FeBrina’s crew often run a trip via the chase boat to the cave where the river comes out.. or for the more intrepid, a hike up to the “blue hole”, mysteriously eerie and thrilling to dive.

If you are looking for something a little different, FeBrina’s South Coast itinerary may be for you! There will be a limited number of these trips in 2015, so book early to avoid missing out!
