The purpose-sunk Pacific Gas is one of the largest shipwrecks in PNG, and it sits just outside of the capital of Port Moresby. But the Pacific Gas is just one of a handful of easily accessible shipwrecks near the city, loaded with some of the ocean’s strangest marine life. in fact, just next door to the Gas sits the M/V Pai, a 75-foot trawler purpose sunk along Horseshoe reef. The Pai’s grasping masts are laden with a thick coat of soft corals, and it’s a picturesque backdrop against which divers can find an exotic and ever-changing collection of creatures. Anything from wobbegongs and hammerhead sharks, to rhinopias and harlequin ghost pipefish can be spotted on this small but biodiverse wreck, while anthias and sweetlips congregate in the water column.
