Summertime is probably the best fares of all...and you guys are welcome to come over! Theres the bungalo on the tropical beach in the heart of the training area for a lot cheaper then if you book thru a travel tour...ie. like 175 a day. You could stay there and be one mile away from one of the primary villages to be trained. Corals, soft corals, macro stuff, calm water, muck diving and the big reef all close by too! Google Loloata Island Diving + Papua New Guinea ! Steve

And all the malaria you can catch

Ah ha, the cheaper hotels don't have malaria? PNG mesquitos are selective as to who they bite

Malarone all the way baby - yummy Rx. Just bought a bunch for a trip at Costco of all places.

So you don't need shots anymore? Cool, I hate needles!

prattreef · 01-08-2008, 02:49 PM

No shots is good. I remember years ago when I went to India and needed the Gamma globulin (Hepatitis) serum which is administered in the butt. The nurse said. "sorry about this but thick serum rips tissue" Nice.

Which is why the fish are still there.
Islam terrorist protected areas are also pretty good.

Hi people,
