Loloata Private Island ResortResort

Loloata Private Island Resort is a PADI Resort on an island in Bootless Bay, close to Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea. Divers often rush through the capital toward Milne Bay or Kimbe Bay, yet the reefs just off Port Moresby are well worth a look.

Several sites are less than 30 minutes away by boat, and the base has a fully equipped dive shop, fast boats and a team of instructors and guides. The island has a following among international divers because an earlier dive resort ran here for almost 40 years. Photographers get a bonus: it is a good spot to find the rare Rhinopias. PADI courses and snorkeling are available, in English.
