If you're seeking an off the beaten path locale, with some of the
best diving in the world, head to Papua New Guinea, which occupies half of the
jungle-filled island of New Guinea in the Pacific Ocean.
Offshore, there are coral
gardens, barrier reefs, coral atolls and a collection of ships and submarines
from World War II, all teeming with fish. Onshore, visitors can stay in luxury
jungle lodges or take boat trips on the Sepik River, stopping at villages in the
tropical rain forest where locals lie as their predecessors did centuries ago.
The gateways to Papua New Guinea are Asia and Australia - the island is located
equidistant between the two continents.
