MV FeBrina is managed by Walindi Plantation in West New Britain and run by an extremely professional and experienced team, made up of ex-pats and locals. Together, they will find you the best dive spots for the day, so going on FeBrina is never a wrong decision.

FeBrina's cruises offers the unique combination of Walindi's outstanding coral reef dives in Kimbe Bay with the excitement of diving in the deep clear waters of the Witu Islands and Fathers Reef further offshore where big pelagics are the center of interest. On its Kavieng routes you experience the countless reefs, fantastic channels, drop-offs and WWII wrecks.

The 22m long M.V. FeBrina is fully air conditioned and accommodates guests in nice double cabins with all the luxuries needed for extended dive trips. A maximum of 12 divers is on board. Febrina has 2 cabins which are offered as single cabins.

An extensive refit has made FeBrina even more comfortable with a whole new interior outlook. An additional deck accommodates the crew above the main deck. Some of the new guest rooms feature ensuite heads and showers.
There is no sun deck with deck chairs, but there is a comfortable sitting area on the dive deck. Also, for those who love to sit in the sun, there is the bow for this activity. Febrina's main feature is the fantastic dive deck, which is ideal for photographers.

The new camera table been added to the spacious back deck area allows for convenient handling of that precious equipment. Most diving is from FeBrina's spacious dive deck, with easy access via the water level dive platform.

Itinerary

Like most live-aboards in PNG no set itinerary allows to select dive sites subject to weather and water conditions to give you the best possible dive experience at the time. Cruises go from 7 to 14 days. The daily routine allows up to 5 to 4 dives a day with an early morning dive, a late morning dive an after lunch dive, an afternoon dive and a night dive.

For most of the year, Febrina operates 7-10 night trips out of the Walindi Plantation Resort.
In addition to some of the Kimbe Bay dive sites near Walindi, the FeBrina also visits areas of the Bismark Sea such as the Witu Islands to the north west of Kimbe Bay and Fathers Reefs to the north east. Kimbe/New Britain

Kavieng Itineraries:
For a few months of the year, Febrina bases herself in the Kavieng region of New Ireland.
This region offers divers a huge variety of marine life. There are fantastic pristine coral gardens, sponges, many different species of nudibranchs and tropical fish. There is spectacular pelagic activity in the channels that seperate the island groups and this offers adventure diving at its very best !There are five different species of dolphins in the Kavieng region alone.

Walindi/Kavieng or Kavieng/Walindi Itineraries:
These extended itineraries offer divers the opportunity to enjoy the very best of both regions and at some of the most remote and pristine dive sites to be found anywhere in the world.
