The Dive Centre is the ONLY PADI 5 Star Instructor Development Centre in PNG,denoting excellence in diver training at all levels from beginner to instructor.  

Spotfinlionfish



Spotfinlionfish(Pterois antennata) are common in our area and can be seen on some ship wrecks and reefs in Port Moresby. Spotfinlionfish have venomous spines on thier dorsal fins which can inflict painfull sting if you touch them.

Reef stonfish



Reef Stonefish(Synanceia verrucosa) can be seen on reef flats and outer slopes.These guys are camoflage artists. They are extremly difficult to see as they blend perfectly into thier surroundings. Stonefish have venomous spines on thier back. If you were to stand on one, you will be injected with venom that cause extreme pain.

Pink anemonefish


Pink anemonefish(Amphiprion penderaion) live with some different kind of anemone on reefs such as Stichdactyla gigantea, Heteractis crispa and Heteractis magnifica.
I found Pink anemonefish difficult to photograph because they are very shy and always hide deep in the tentacles of thier home anemone.
