Found the joy of diving because of my experience with Pearl of Papau
My wife and I had a wonderful experience with Pearl of Papau. The dive guides are remarkable at spotting the small reef fishes the size of a rice grain and there isn’t a moment I felt unsafe with my dive guide diving with me. Yayu the cruise director will look after you like a guardian. She made sure we were comfortable and everyday she will review the weather and alternate our plans to take advantage of the current to see the sea creatures.

Pearl of Papua IS A PRECIOUS PEARL!
Great jovial atmosphere at our hotel among the other divers who were also being picked up really set us off on a great foot. Yayu (the owner/operator) is very organized and prompt, all with a congenial spirit. The small size of our group (11 guests) really fostered a personal experience. Lifetime friendships were formed. The coral was mind blowing. Yayu is extensively aware of the pelagic life as we were informed of what specifically to look for at each dive site. FABULOUS time with the Manta's at the cleaning station! Side excursions were also a very nice treat (hiking to top lookout at Piaynemo), a stroll through a tiny village on a small island topped off with FRESH coconut water!

- Yayu is the PERFECT Host!!! Gracious, considerate, accomodating, knowledgeable, humorous, not enough room to express the kindness of ALL of her staff.. There are swift currents, but the DM's and boat dinghy crew were acutely aware of every diver. I felt very safe. They take their jobs quite seriously. Lounge deck is FABULOUS! BBQ beach dinner was a blast. Ramah is incredibly kind, attentive and eager to help find anything you need..

Great trip but prefer the maldives live a boards
The overall experience of the week way very good . Lovely crew and owner . Spotlessly clean . Food was lovely . Bbq trip to island lovely . Trip to village and high view point great . I have done the maldives the past two years travelling from uk only travelling flight time 12 hours . Indonisia was 22 hours . So a tuff journey !!! My expectations on reveiws on the diving was really high but unfortunately our group was disipointed with the condition of a lot of the corals . Didnt see much large stuff . Couple of sharks and couple of small mantas in distance !. Just expected more from reveiws and footage i had seen on tv . The dive guides tried there best . I also felt there was a lot of politics withbeing able to dive in curtain areas this goverment . Overall we enjoyed it but wouldnt go back .
