Diving in PNG

Just returned from diving in the tropical rich waters of PNG. A pristine environment with lush green landscapes and an abundance of weird and wonderful marine life. It is a picturesque place with a variety of different diving options, from small macro life in volcanic black sand to thriving coral reefs. The water was 30 Degrees which makes you want to stay in the water as long as possible. Definitely, Papua New Guinea should be on your bucket list.

Hawaii Islands

I had the pleasure of spending some time in Hawaii over the Christmas and New Year break and I discovered how amazing this part of the world is. From the marine life to the mountains, it is all spectacular. I only wish I had more time to explore. There is so much to see and do from watching live volcanoes, snorkeling with turtles, diving with Manta Rays at night, Hawaii is world class. I look forward to my next visit.
