Hi,

Where is the best place to see large pelagics in PNG? I loved the dives in Sipadan for these fish!

Try the islands off Kavieng in the very north. Lissenung Island is a great spot, small island run by an Austrian couple, he's a great diver and she's a great cook. Some of my most memorable diving was the week I spent here. www.lissenung.com

You need to check with Dietmar on Lissenung to find out when you can get to Albatross, which is where you get the current & the big fish action - it's not year round.

Failing that I rear the Witus is a bit special - & I've seen footage to back it up
