My hopes for Niugini Diving in the future are lots of aircraft finds so can complete the documentary mentioned earlier. ideally, I would like to spend more time researching and finding aircraft full time. I get a great kick out of taking people to cruise the Islands, and I guess I always will. they may not even be divers but just snorklers who want to do a mixed bag of tricks on their vacation, these are the things I love doing, a simple out door life on the sea.

Over the next few years, I would like to go after a couple of wrecks the "Arakae"a Japanese DD. "I.22", "A28-03", A9-02" and a number of other planes that I know about, all of which will be posted to this site at later date. I f any readers know any stories of ditched aircraft or know of any in good condition under the water whether they be in PNG, Indonesia or the Solomon's I would like to know about them and film them for a documentary sub titled a "Sunken Air force" that I mentioned previously in the interview.

I am currently doing a article for Sport diving Magazine on the finding of Beaufighter A19-130 and also the recovery of the MIA's from Beaufort A9-217 both of which I have touched on here. Also, I have an article about wreck diving in the Airniugini in Flight magazine "Paradise".
