7, 10 & 12 nights from Alotau [FB]

For 20 years the 20 metre liveaboard MV Chertan has explored the island chains and atolls of Milne Bay and beyond. With a highly experienced crew the Chertan has gained a reputation with many biologists and professional photographers as the top choice for diving Milne bay. With a maximum of ten divers the Chertan is perfect for those divers who like to travel with smaller groups. Three cabins offer en-suite bathrooms and two cabins share bathrooms on the upper deck. A spacious top deck is ideal for relaxing with plenty of room for photographers.

For the ultimate dive experience, combine your land-based Tawali adventure with a trip aboard the MV Chertan. The Chertan will take divers to exotic locations that few divers ever get to experience. The Chertan leaves from the wharf at Tawali either before or after your land based visit.

A cruise on Chertan offers unlimited diving for the enthusiast as well as an introduction to the local culture. The itineraries are all about adventure, challenge and discovery in conditions that few have experienced. From dugouts to dugongs, from plunging coral drop-offs to towering volcanic mountains, skull caves and thermal springs, from Hammerhead Sharks to Manta Rays, the region is truly unique.
