​Corona Virus PNG Update

For the last few weeks it seems that Corona virus is on everyone`s mind all around the world including PNG .
So what is the situation in PNG ?
There is great summary on Loop PNG website that you might find helpful 
http://www.looppng.com/coronavirus/covid-19-situation-so-far-91035

What is Corona Virus Disease or Covid-19?
Covid-19 is a new disease which is very infectious and is caused by one of a group of viruses called corona virus. Already known types of diseases caused by corona viruses are common cold, SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) and MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) to name a few. Covid-19 stands for corona virus disease 2019.
Symptoms of Covid-19.
What you need to look out for in a person who has contracted covid-19;
  • Sneezing
  • Fever
  • Tiredness
  • Dry Cough
  • Shortness of breath
  • Aches and pain
  • Sore throat
  • Sometimes diarrhea, nausea (feel like voting), or running nose


You can avoid infecting yourself or others by;
Self-isolation– avoid public gatherings, clubs, markets etc.
Social distancing – it is recommended that you should be at least 2 meters away from other person. This is sufficient distance to avoid the virus jump from one person to another.
Avoid close contact - avoid unprotected contact with sick people (including touching ones eyes, nose or mouth) and with live farm or wild animals, also avoid touching objects and surfaces such as (tables and door handles) contaminated from a person with Covid-19.
Practice food safety – wash your hands between handling raw and cooked food. Wash your hands frequently with soap and water, before and after eating, and after going to the toilet.

Recompressions chamber is in Port Moresby fully functional

​See video of the chamber here:

​
Know more: What do you need a decompression chamber for?Above all,  chamber is needed to treat a decompression sickness: If there is reason to suspect that a diver ascended too quickly and that he has suffered damages from insufficient pressure compensation, he is put into this chamber. Here the same pressure as the one underwater prevails. Thus the symptoms should diminish or even disappear completely. Afterwards, the doctor reduces the pressure slowly back to a normal level. By doing so, the diver can get used to the normal ambient pressure again and the body dissipates the gases that were released in the blood.
This treatment can last for several hours – thereby it is important that a doctor looks after the diver permanently. The diver must still remain under observation for a few hours after the end of the treatment as well.


Dive Insurance mandatory for diving in PNG 
All divers must hold comprehensive dive and medical evacuation insurance to access the services of the re compression  chamber in Port Moresby (Closest) or anywhere else in the world in case of emergency. This includes ALL dive guests. 

Any diver requiring treatment at the chamber will not be accepted without a guarantee of payment, whether an insurance policy, personal credit card or other means. DAN Insurance is recommended for its swift response time and its endorsement of this HPL-owned chamber. In the event of an incident for a DAN-insured diver, DAN will notify the medevac provider, notify HPL to prepare the chamber and process all necessary paperwork. For other-insured divers it may take a bit longer for that insurer to move through these stages.


We recommend DAN Asia Pacific to buy your own member ship plan:

​3 WRECK DIVES

VIEW OTHER DIVE SITES

2 plane wrecks and 1 shipwreck in ONE DAY OF DIVING

Picture

dIVE 1 

Bi Plane

​This particular biplane is a Japanese Mitsubishi F1M1 Naval Type “O” observation seaplane , a long range reconnaissance aircraft with two machine guns mounted for hand operation. It appears to have sunk at its mooring as the only major damage is the collapse of its starboard and main pontoon. 
Some believe it was actually being lifted on to or off a Japanese freight when it sunk. Broken lifting cables from upper wings support this theory
Picture

dIVE 3

​Malapau Zero

​Quite possibly the best know aero plane in Rabaul. The A6M is one of the last of these fighters, which were nicknames “Zeroes “ by allied forces in WWII.


The three propeller blades are intact and it would be easy to imagine firing up the engine and taxing up the sand slope before breaking through into the skies above. The open cockpit is home to sweetlips and many other little creatures. Lots of small shrimps go about their business The fuselage had orange and pink soft coral growing on it and

dIVE 2

​Georges Wreck

Picture

Picture
​The pilot told George Tyers how he had bombed a Japanese freighter on the northern side of Rabaul during the War. When he returned to Rabaul, George went to the area to the immediate north of Rabaul.

Using the pilot's description, he found what he thought was the location and he went for a snorkel. He soon discovered the ship; it is located only a short distance from the small bay and is only 10 metres under the surface. From that day on, the wreck became known as "George's Wreck". It is still known as that as no-one has yet been able to identify the ship for certainty, although there is a possibility as I will show later.

Mioko Island:Day trip or overnight stay?

April highlight !

Japanese tanks visit with stop over at Duke of York islands

Japanese tanks lay in only 4 meters of water in Makada’s natural harbor. The tanks are 15-ton 97 CHI-HA tanks and used to be armed with 57mm short barrel cannons and two 7.7mm machine-guns which are still visible. The cannons are no longer on the wrecks, but other than that they are impeccably preserved
