Comments	The Pleasure Sport is one of the nicest dive boats that I have been on and PNG has some of the best diving I've seen. Coral, sponges, reefs and walls are in excellent shape. Lots of fish both large and small. The downer is getting there. Because it takes some extra effort, it keeps the less serious divers away. If I would have known beforehand, I would have taken some pencils, crayons, books, magazines, fishhooks and line, etc for the natives that came to the boat every night after we tied up.
