Walindi Plantation Resort

Tucked into the grounds of Walindi Plantation Resort, Walindi Dive sits right on the waterfront in Kimbe Bay, Papua New Guinea — part of the Coral Triangle, the global centre of marine biodiversity. The variety here is remarkable, with dive sites ranging from channels and sea mounts to coral gardens and sheer walls, most of them just 15 minutes from the resort.

Diving and training

Daily dive trips and snorkelling excursions run on three spacious, purpose-built dive vessels, with night diving and shore diving also on offer. The dive shop is fully equipped with rental gear, a repair and service workshop, a fish ID library, a filling station and a dedicated classroom, and the staff bring a deep well of local marine-life knowledge.

As a PADI Resort, Walindi caters to everyone from first-time novices up to divemaster level, and adds specialty courses including Fish Identification, Enriched Air Nitrox and Deep Diver. With English-speaking instructors, an onsite training pool and a house reef on the doorstep, it suits divers looking to learn, log more dives or simply explore one of the world's richest reef systems.
