# PNG and diving Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea
MaryMaryxyz 21:08 UTC 03 Oct 2018 | I have posted this also on the diving section..I’ve read Kira Salaks account of visiting PNG many years ago. Diving and visiting the area is something I’d like to do if not this American winter, sometime in the future. Would anyone think it’s safer now ? (No Rascals, etc.). Is there a dive organization that’s recommended? I guess in the past dive boats have been attacked. I use the app for weekly newspaper. “The National”. In an attempt to keep up. Thanks |
