A group of 14 divers from Germany, Switzerland, Taiwan recently visited Loloata Island Resort in PNG. The common bond? Dive instructor and trip organiser Maritta Maferbure (front, center, who’s logged more than 20,000 dives!), who worked in the Phuket dive industry years ago, and has maintained and grown many of the friendships she made with divers and guests.

Each year, she gets a group of divers from around the world to travel together and have fun. Irrespective of the mish-mash of languages and their different backgrounds, this year’s participants had a great time at Loloata, and will also be visiting Milne Bay and Tufi.

This is what diving should be about — good friends, good fun.
