DIVING
Golden Dawn is pioneering dive operations at the spectacular Eastern Fields, a submerged atoll covering over 400 square miles. Most of this reef system is still unexplored, and with the unbelievable visibility and the great variety and number of pelagic life, the Eastern Fields is a dream come true for experienced divers. Expect to meet large dog-tooth tuna, schools of yellow fin and blue fin tuna, spanish mackerel, wahoo, eagle and manta rays, horse-eye jacks and schools of spiraling barracuda.
Grey reef sharks and silver tips are frequently encountered, and the great and scalloped hammerhead sharks will make an appearance regularly. There is plenty of fascinating smaller fare, such as nudibranch and flat worms that have not even been identified yet.
Other itineraries include the Milne Bay and Northern PNG and Wewak.The Golden Dawn is fully equiped to support rebreather divers.
