Comments	This was the second trip to PNG for my mother and myself, organized by Uncommon Adventures in Southern CA (who organized prior trips to PNG and Galapagos / Jim,, very knowledgeable). Initially booked on Peter Hughes boat then which was in for repair and so changed to liveaboard The Febrina...what luck. Usually liveaboard has been on larger boat i.e. Mike Ball. The boat had 8 guests including ourselves (could hold 12-14, AC and showers worked well, we had owners suite and cabin adjacent. The personal attention from the crew and captain, combined with the superlative diving found in PNG made this an unforgettable trip. I could not recommend the boat more. One could dive up to 5 times a day for 6.5 days on a 8 day trip from Wallindi Plantation to Rabual. Hugely diverse coral, fish, photo ops, you name it. We included trip to Highlands at Ambua Lodge on this trip,, the year prior to Carrawary Lodge on the Sepic,, both a 'must do' if you are schlepping this far. This trip we started in Australia for a Minke Whale trip with Mike Ball. Again,, go on the Febrina and check if captain Allen is going to be on the trip,,, unforgettable.
