Diving Adventures in Papua New Guinea: Walindi Plantation Resort

Walindi Resort is a small dive resort, situated on the shores of Kimbe Bay, Northern New Britain, Papua New Guinea. New Britain is the largest of Papua New Guinea's Islands.

Walindi's accommodation consists of 12 self contained, comfortable bure style bungalows spread along the beach front, and surrounded by rainforest gardens. The bungalows are constructed of local materials and timbers, with thatched roofs. They are all fully screened, with private bathroom, a kitchenette with tea and coffee making facilities, and ceiling fans.

The central resort area consists of dining room, lounge and bar area, swimming pool and sun deck. The dining room offers three meals daily (included in the tariff), and fare is Western and Asian style buffet meals, delicious and plentiful, featuring local seafood’s, fruits and vegetables.

Walindi Diving have three day dive boats operating from the resort daily. The newest vessel is "Charmaine". 30 feet in length, she is an aluminium purpose built dive boat fitted with GPS and fresh water tanks. "Emma" and "Dilemma" are a little smaller, of a similar design. The boats take 6-8 divers each, and diving is on the many beautiful Walindi Reefs in Kimbe Bay. Most of the reefs are a photographer's paradise; all of them have an incredible array of marine life, from the smallest to the largest creatures and corals. Inglis Shoal and Kimbe Island Bommie are sea mounts, and attract the larger fish and sharks, as does North Emma Reef.

Generally, divers will head out for two dives, leaving around 9am and returning 4pm, with lunch provided on one of the deserted islands nearby. On request, three dives per day may be organised, subject to boat availability, and night dives can also be arranged with the Dive Manager.
