A beautiful place, Madang.

I was in Madang in Papua New Guinea.

It's so beautiful place wher is coral sea, and untouched natural

reinforest with various kind

of fauna and flora.

In the sea, beautiful coral, lots of kind of toropical fishes.

You can enjoy scuba diving. If you were not scuba diver,

you can enjoy snorkelling.

It is easy to see fishes around coral.

For scuba divers, there are many diving spot around the madang

sea, it's easy to reach in 15 or 20 minutes.

Special points are school of ballakuda, with jack fish, Napoleon fish,

and when you are lucky you meet a Hammer head. Unforutnetely I've never see Hammer.

Also I have to say Madang Lagoon is basically good condition. Good visibility,

the currrent is calm basically.

My favorite season is 1st week in March. It's still wet season but no rain every year in this

term. So the condition is the best in a year.

Diving magazene pick up Madang sometimes, and famous photographers publish photo books.

Enajoy Madang Lagoon with books at first please.
