Papua Neuguinea - Eastern Fields/Coral Sea - SCHÖNER TAUCHEN Gruppenreise mit der Golden Dawn 1080p
SCHÖNER TAUCHEN Gruppenreise mit Peter Löseke vom 08. Jan. bis 21. Jan. 2013
mit der M/V Golden Dawn zu einigen der abgelegensten Tauchplätze der Welt!
Neben den Eastern Fields besuchten wir auf dieser Reise noch weniger bekannte Riffe, wie das Ashmore- Reef und das Boot Reef.
Es gibt sie noch, einzigartige Riffsysteme abseits von Tourismus mit Pionier Charakter die nur mit einem Tauchkreuzfahrtschiff zu erreichen sind. In diesem fast unberührten Teil der Coral Sea, auf halbem Weg zwischen Papua New Guinea und Australien, ist jeder Tauchgang ein neues Entdeckungsabenteuer.
Dieses Tauchziel in der Coral Sea kann nur wenige Wochen pro Jahr angefahren werden, die Golden Dawn ist das einzige Schiff das diese Touren anbietet. Neben tollen Korallen gibt es hier auch noch viele Fische. Wenn das nördliche Australische Barriere Riff generell als unberührt gilt, ist dies relativ zu anderen Tauchgebieten der Welt zu sehen. Unberührt bei den Eastern Fields heißt unberührt in der eigentlichen Bedeutung des Wortes. Denn außer der Golden Dawn, die nur etwa zwei, dreimal pro Jahr dort hinfährt, gibt es keine Möglichkeit diese Tauchplätze zu besuchen.
Hier kommt man sich wie ein Pionier vor, der als erster diese herrlichen Riffe erkundet. Ein Tauchgang ist meist viel zu kurz um alles, was der Tauchplatz zu bieten hat, zu erkunden. Dieses Tauchgebiet ist von großartiger Ursprünglichkeit und das Tauchen hier hat noch was von Abenteuer an sich, das man anderswo nur noch selten findet. Hier gibt es sicher noch viele Riffe, die noch nicht erkundet worden sind und wahre Wunder enthüllen können.
The Eastern fields/Coral Sea operate November through to December and April through to May - prime time for this area. On these cruises, you will find the waters of the barrier reef system around Port Moresby teem with beautiful flora and fauna to satisfy the keenest sports diver or the most dedicated underwater photographer, with Mantas, Sharks and Turtles.
Divers have encountered the rare Great hammerhead as well as his smaller Scalloped brothers and Whale Sharks are sighted annually as far in as the capital's main harbour! The more exotic treats include the Lacy Scorpion fish (Rhinopias aphanes and his rarer brother R. fondoza), Leaf Scorpion fish, Stone and False Stonefish, Crocodile fish, Pygmy sea horse and Tasselled Wobbegongs, Epaulette and Leopard Sharks. The waters here are moderate in visibility but excellent for close-up photography.
Further offshore, in the clear waters of the Coral Sea, GOLDEN DAWN is pioneering dive operations at the spectacular Eastern Fields, a submerged atoll rising from over 4,000 ft /1,200 mtrs and covering some 400 square miles. Most of this reef system is still unexplored - suffice it to say that over 200ft / 70mtr visibility has been experienced. Eastern Fields is located 90 nautical miles south west of Port Moresby in the northern reaches of the Coral Sea.
This area of the Coral Sea is rarely troubled by the cyclone's passing by on their way to the southern latitudes leaving the coral in pristine condition. Being close to the eastern approaches of the Torres Strait (the name for the passage of water between Australia and Papua New Guinea) gives this area the currents that attract the pelagic marine life such as schools of large Dog Tooth, Yellow fin, Blue fin Tuna, Spanish Mackerel and Wahoo. Eagle and Manta rays can be found patrolling the walls, as well as schools of horse eye jacks in their balling formations and schools of spiralling Barracuda. On our shark dives Grey reef Sharks and their elegant brothers the Silver tips are frequently encountered. The Great and Scalloped hammerhead shark will often make an appearance when you least expect it! You will enjoy dive sites like Carls Ultimate, where the marine life is so rich and diverse that it is not uncommon for divers to do 12 dives and still ask for more. The small and the unexpected should not be left out, with species of Nudibranch and Flat worm we have not been able to identify as yet! Many different types of Shrimp Goby, Blennies and clouds of Anthias and Fusiliers are to be found while diving.

In diesem fast unberührten Teil der Coral Sea, auf halbem Weg zwischen Papua New Guinea und Australien, ist jeder Tauchgang ein neues Entdeckungsabenteuer.
Zur besten Reisezeit haben wir die Golden Dawn für eine 13 Nächte Tauchkreuzfahrt zu dieser Außergewöhnlichen Tour gechartert. Dieses Tauchziel in der Coral Sea kann nur wenige Wochen pro Jahr angefahren werden, die Golden Dawn ist das einzige Schiff das diese Touren anbietet. Neben tollen Korallen gibt es hier auch noch viele große Fische.
Wenn das nördliche Australische Barriere Riff generell als unberührt gilt, ist dies relativ zu anderen Tauchgebieten der Welt zu sehen. Unberührt bei den Eastern Fields heißt unberührt in der eigentlichen Bedeutung des Wortes. Denn außer der Golden Dawn, die nur etwa zwei, dreimal pro Jahr dort hinfährt, gibt es keine Möglichkeit diese Tauchplätze zu besuchen.
Neben den Eastern Fields besuchen wir auf dieser Reise die noch weniger bekannten Riffe, wie Ashmore, Portlock und Boot Reef die alle Tauchen der Extraklasse bieten!
Hier kann man das gesamte Netzwerk des Fressen und gefressen werden am Riff beobachten und bei einem einzigen Tauchgang kann die Natur alle Register des tropischen Meeres ziehen. Hier kommt man sich wie ein Pionier vor, der als erster diese herrlichen Riffe erkundet. Ein Tauchgang ist meist viel zu kurz um alles, was der Tauchplatz zu bieten hat, zu erkunden. Dieses Tauchgebiet ist von großartiger Ursprünglichkeit und das Tauchen hier hat noch was von Abenteuer an sich, das man anderswo nur noch selten findet.

More Fish Than Water.m4v
Video footage from the Eastern Fields of Papua New Guinea. The Eastern fields are a large submerged atoll approx 170 km southwest of Port Moresby. Limited fishing pressure, along with nutrient rich water from the gulf of papua this time of year, combine to create overwhelming amounts of fish which feed on the suspended food particles. I shot this video during a live aboard dive trip with the MV Golden Dawn, December, 2010.

Ever since missionaries Albert Maclaren and Copland King first brought the Gospel to Papua New Guinea in 1891, the Anglican Church has carried out its mission of preaching, teaching and healing. In a country with 700 different languages, inaccessible terrain and all the problems of a developing nation such as HIV, this is a challenge indeed. Today the country is made up of five Anglican dioceses, and each has a wildly diverse story to tell the filmmakers, from the islands to the highlands. Refreshingly the film is not a charity appeal, but instead illustrates how the remarkably resourceful Anglicans all over PNG are setting up their own schemes to become self-sufficient.
Steve Ramsden traveled with local media man Robroy Chicki all over PNG to bring back these stories of the Anglicans who live in this astonishingly beautiful but little-known Pacific country.
Shot in May/June 2010 and produced by the Papua New Guinea Church Partnership UK.
Broadcast nationwide in Papua New Guinea on Kundu2TV in 2010.
