Hi, I have a Febrina liveaboard trip booked from and returning to Walindi in late September.
I was planning on taking all my own gear but I am also doing an 8 day walk in the Highlands first and the logistics of getting an unaccompanied dive bag to Madang, where I will spend a few days before Walindi, or to Walindi, are beginning to daunt me. I certainly don't want to carry the dive gear overland or hire another porter to do so! And I am not intending to double back on my route at any point where I could pick it up again.
So, does anyone have any experience with the quality and range of dive gear available for rent at Walindi? Or with quality of courier services in PNG? I am also asking the operators there but a customer perspective is valuable. I am considering taking my mask and regs/computer even if I hire the rest.
Thanks for input
