Enjoying a very relaxing surface interval between my dives with @rabaul_kokopo_dive
My vlog is getting live in a few days of this fantastic dive destination. Are you following me on YouTube yet? I think you should.... #linkinbio #rabaul #png #kokopo #scubadivingtrip #scubadiving #scuba #lifesabeach #surfaceinterval #diving #mermaid #scuba #papuadiving #papuanewguinea

Papua New Guinea is one of those perfect scuba dive destinations where you can combine really good diving with some interesting land excursions.

During my stay in Rabaul I did a landtour with @rabaul_kokopo_dive where I visited many different sites that told the rich WWII history.

During WWII Rabaul was in hands of the Japanese. During that time the Japanese build many underground buildings, forcing locals and prisoners, to build the tunnels for them. There's even a 5 floor deep underground hospital.
A lot of that time has been preserved and is now available for viewing. There's a museum, the PNG Club and the bigger sites, such as the hospital as well as many tanks and weapons.

The Pink Skunk! Found on my second dive with @rabaul_kokopo_dive in Rabaul, Papua New Guinea.
It is easy to understand the name of the Pink Skunk Clownfish because of the white skunk like band that runs from nose to tail on the dorsal (upper) part of the body.
An easy way to identify the Pink Skunk Clownfish from other skunk species is the white vertical bar on each side of the head.
The Pink Skunk Clownfish is one of the smallest species in the clownfish family. It is hardy and also very peaceful.

The most common way to travel to Rabaul in Papua New Guinea is by plane ✈️. There are daily flights straight to Kokopo (where @rabaul_kokopo_dive is located) from the capital Port Moresby. The hotel, in which the dive shop is located, offers complimentary pick ups from the airport. Easy does it. 💯

In my case, I arrived the "hard" way. Together with @tintin6950 we sailed⛵ in 8 days from Cairns, Australia to Rabaul. This is us arriving in Rabaul as the sun is going down for the day. 🌅 The famous volcano in the background. 🌋

To the right, in the first picture, the Tavurvur volcano. I climbed it as part of the landtour that I did with @rabaul_kokopo_dive . My guide was Coniah, a very intelligent guy who could tell me everything about the history of Rabaul and the volcanoes 🌋. Climbing the Tavurvur volcano is hard work, even in the early morning when it isn't that hot yet. You're climbing very sharp rock/ash/lava so not much to hold on to! It was great challenge - and going down was harder than going up. Yet I would say anyone who's in reasonable shape can do it. It's definitely worth it for the experience and the views ❤️ #volcanohike #volcano #tavurvur #tavurvurvolcano #papuanewguinea #png #volcanology #landtour #rabaulvolcano #rabaul #kokopo

One of the main attractions in Rabaul-Kokopo is the dolphins. Every morning approximately 200 to 300 show up. Ready to play at the bow of the boat! With the dive shop @rabaul_kokopo_dive I went there one morning and shot this little video ❤

The face you make when you have successfully climb

The face you make when you have successfully climbed Mount Tavurvur (223m). Mount Tavurvur is an active volcano very close to the city of Rabaul in Papua New Guinea. In 1994 it erupted and a massive amount of ashes landed on Rabaul. The people and government fled to the other side of the bay to Kokopo, which is now the new provincial capital. This climb was part of the landtour that was organised by my diveshop @rabaul_kokopo_dive ❤️

Last year, in July, I visited Rabaul and Kokopo in Papua New Guinea. I was lucky enough to dive around there for 3 days as well as doing a landtour, all with @rabaul_kokopo_dive ! In the upcoming weeks I'm taking you guys with me on my trip. Starting with this beautiful picture of Pigeon Island. If you're interested in diving in Rabaul (and trust me you should be), make sure to follow me on insta, fb and YouTube. Especially YouTube as my vlog is getting uploaded soon! #linkinbio #rabaul #kokopo #pigeonisland #papuanewguinea #scubadivingtrip #scubadiving #scuba #mermaid #dutchmermaid
