Dive sites' map seasons for diving in madang

The Niugini Dive Adventures (NDA) was first established at the Madang Resort Hotel in 1967 with the Late Bob and his wife Dinah Halstead as our diving instructors. Since NDA was established, we have continued to provide diving as a PADI Dive facility for over 40 years now. Previously, we provided diving as an optional activity rather than the prime purpose for a vist to Madang and PNG. Our prime objective remains, exposing the wonderful rich cultural heritage of the people and the wide variety of the geographical beauty as well as its wildlife. We have shown this both on land and aboard our mini expedition cruise vessels, again offering diving as an optional activity. More recently, we have placed greater emphasis on diving, hence our attendance at DEMA, BOOTS, ITB, Maritime shows in Japan and other dive exhibitions throughout the world. We are being more active in promoting diving every year. Apart from our base at the Madang Resort, where our expert diving instructors undertake instructions and operate land based diving, we also operate the Kalibobo Spirit (KS). The 30m luxury motor yacht is fully equipped to handle 12 divers on offshore islands in PNG. Whilst we have scheduled departures, the KS is also available for exclusive charter which has attracted such well known people as Sir. Mich Jagger. I look forward to seeing you here in beautiful Madang, a place known for its amazing coral coasts, its people and its unique cultures. Sincerely,

Sir. Peter Barter Managing Director. Sir Peter L C Barter, GCL, OBE, Kt

Magical Madang

The warm fertile waters that surge through the many passages and channels in the barrier reefs around Madang create the ideal environment for a vast range of marine life. Marine Biologists from all over the world make pilgrimages to Madang, to its wonders. For sheer colour and diversity of life, the seas around Madang have no rival. You can enjoy world class diving only minutes from the Madang Resort. Although you can enjoy world-class diving only minutes from the Madang Resort, the best spots are a little more remote and require more effort to get to. Undoubtedly, the most exciting destination is Bagbag Island, lying 32 nautical miles off the coast. This small island has several excellent harbours that were put to good use by the Japanese Navy during WW2. These were the only foreign people to inhabit the island in any numbers and today there are only the delightful village people to greet you. Approximately 10km in length and 25km wide, the island was one of many peaks of a long mountain range pushed up from the sea floor by cataclysmic volcanic forces thousands of years ago - the peaks surround an extinct volcano. The island's close neighbour, Karkar, is still an active volcano. The other peaks remain underwater, sheer pinnacles that spear from thousands of feet to within 15 feet of the surface - being so far from the mainland there are no estuaries too muddy or soil the crystal clear waters.

Location: 40km North from the Madang Resort. How to get there? 1 hour by boat from the Madang Resort. Max Depth: 40m plus How? Anchoring The third major attraction on the North Coast is a natural, tidal lagoon formed by a wide wall of volcanic rock.

Sharks are frequent as are the Dogtooth Tuna, Spanish Mackerals, Barracuda, Bigeyed Trevally and so many more migratory marine creatures. Soft corals and sea fans decorate the walls allowing great schools of fish feed to feed in the current that passes through the island. Very little diving has been done here, evident from the reefs ‘pristine quality.’ There is excellent and easy snorkelling in the shallows of the fringing reefs. Only experienced snorkelers should attempt the outer barrier, this is due to the fast current that passes through the outer barrier reefs on the island.

madang's traditional maritime history (Mennis, 2006, p. 106.)”

Beg, the son of Keni from the Kakon Clan in Yabobo Village standing in from of his father’s balangut. Beg and his father went on many trading trips to Rai Coast with cargoes of hundreds of traditional claypots for exchange. [Fig 1]

he Madang’s Bel people, who encompass villages such as Kranket, Sek, Riwo, Siar, Yabob and Bilbil, speak the common Belan Language (Mennis, 2006, p. 2). The Bel people have fished and have used the seas as a source of their livelihood traditionally and also in today’s modern Madang. For many decades, traditionally, the Bel people have voyaged the seas around Madang, skilfully navigating their voyage routes; they are the masters of their seas. Due to the raised coral reefs that has created stony soils throughout the Bel Villages along Madang’s coast, many villagers found it difficult to cultivate the land for crops, they then turned to their voyaging skills to trade with other villages along the Rai Coast of Madang, “they depended on their earth-ware pots for trading for food (Mennis, 2006, p.2.)”

Madang is the most diverse province in PNG, with its complex traditional hierarchy and knowledge of their land and sea, diving in its pristine coral reefs and breath-taking islands demands respect, both for its people now and the traditional forefathers of the people of Madang.

In September 1871, a Russian ship visited the Rai Coast of Madang, this took place many years after the trade between the Bel people and the villagers from Rai Coast, (the trade still continued during this time). Russian Explorer Nikolai Nikolovitch Mikouho-Maclay became the first European to set foot on the Rai Coast of Madang. The Russian explorer became acquainted with the people from the Gorima Village in Rai Coast and wrote many detailed recounts of the Madang people and their traditional trade. Maclay, through his observation, “he observed that the traders, as visitors, commanded respect from the host villages who had to follow a set of procedures when the traders arrived offering them betel nut and pigs,

A painting of Nikolai Mikouho-Maclay.
