Dive Tours

We can arrange dives in the morning, afternoon or early evening all year round. Typically our dive boat departs each morning at 8:30am to the outer reefs. Our dive shop can provide all equipment rentals for divers, snorkellers, kayakers and canoers. We have limited gear available for sale and can do basic repairs if required. We have film for sale but it is best if you bring along all your own photography gear. We do have wash tanks on the boats and on shore and our staff will wash down all your dive and photography gear, storing it for next use.

Tufi offers some of the most superb year round diving and snorkelling in the world. We have pristine off-shore reefs available for most of the year. We have the world’s most accessible muck dive available all year round, where you can find the most diverse range of macro life, from mating Mandarin fish to Moray eels to the tiniest, microscopic nudibranchs. We are also the only location in PNG, and the southern hemisphere that can offer year-round dives in the unspoiled waters of the fjords. We also have a fabulous range of WWII wrecks, from the easily accessible PT boats of the Tufi Wharf to the Black Jack and S Jacob which require a special charter but are two stunningly intact WWII wrecks.

The visibility at Tufi is generally 30m + all year round with a temperature averaging 26ºC - 29 ºC. The resort has a 30 foot high speed purpose built dive boat that can access even the furtherest reefs. We also have a smaller dive vessel for closer reefs and accessing the fjords.

Dive Rates: From US$55/K145 per dive. Night fjord dives are available on request. For dive trips to S Jacob and Black Jack, please see example of costs below. These dives would only be done during the months of November through April and entirely dependant upon sea conditions. Due to fuel costs and distance this is not covered under normal dive prices and must be arranged privately with the resort. A suggested itinerary for these wreck dives is outlined below.
