When you think ``muck", you think Milne Bay. And why not? Milne Bay made muck famous, even fashionable. But the problem with this claim to fame is that one might incorrectly assume that Milne Bay offers only muck diving, which is a good ten Clintonunits far from the truth. The Milne Bay Province in Papua New Guinea covers a vast expanse of ocean, and within its boundaries are some of the richest, most colorful fish filled coral reefs found anywhere. So great an area falls within this province that, in spite of the popularity of Milne Bay diving over the last decade, dozens upon dozens of potentially world class reefs remain either unexamined entirely, or rarely dived at all. The problem lies in the muck. It is so wonderfully interesting and contains such a wealth of rare or unidentified marine life, the coral reef riches of the area often take a back seat to the critter craze that grips everyone after their first excursion into the so called muck. |
