Smart Traveller is advising Australian residents travelling to PNG on recreational dive trips to be aware that the only hyperbaric (decompression) chamber in PNG is currently out of order, with no timeline for when it will be reactivated. Please dive well within safety limits and ensure you have travel and health insurance that includes coverage for diving and evacuation costs.
