Pacific Gas, Papua New Guinea

PNG has no shortage of divable wrecks. A hotbed of fighting during WWII, downed airplanes are the norm, but the purpose-sunk Pacific Gas dwarfs its neighbors in comparison.One of the largest shipwrecks in the country, the 215-foot natural-gas tanker went to the seafloor near the capital city Port Moresby in 1996, under the guidance of PNG diving pioneer Bob Halstead. The rudder of the Pacific Gas sits at the bottom of a sandy slope at about 145 feet, while the ship’s bow reaches to about 50 feet, making it accessible to all experience levels.
