International travel website PlanetWare recently ranked Madang as the sixth-best snorkeling destination in the world.
Madang has risen from seventh to sixth best destination in the world for snorkeling and diving.
PlanetWare says: “The tropical nation of Papua New Guinea is located north of Australia in the Coral Triangle, also known as the Amazon of the ocean. Papua New Guinea and its offshore islands evoke a sense of wonder, just by the very nature of their remote location. The nation boasts more than 700 tribes and it’s equally diverse beneath the seas. Because Papua New Guinea doesn’t suffer from overtourism, the reefs have remained pristine and plentiful.
“Just offshore from Madang is the volcanic seamount Planet Rock, whirling with barracuda, tuna, snapper, and reef sharks. If you are into diving, there are also some WWII wrecks nearby to explore.
According to reports from the Niugini Dive Adventures, based at Madang Resort Hotel, there is more to Madang than just Planet Rock.
Niugini Dive Adventures offers divers and snorkellers a variety of sites to enjoy.
