Walindi, Febrina and Loloata in Christmas? Is it too bad to go then?

I just won in a photography competition a three week diving trip for two, including flights from Singapur, to Loloata, Walindi and Febrina. As like mostly everybody, I don´t have endless holydays, so the best time for me would be Christmas time as we have holydays then and I would spend less of my vacation days on the trip. My doubts are that, first of all, Febrina ends its 2013 trips on december 24 and I don´t find many people going to PNG on that time of the year, which seem to be negative facts...
Is that a no-no time to go to PNG due to low visibility and/or bad weather? I would choose spending more of my vacation days in another month (say august etc...) if it was the case. If so, which would be the best time of the for a trip like that?
Thank you very much in advance!

For the Febrina, I would try do the Fathers Reef/Witu itinerary. Great variety of sites and good viz. The POM area is definitely better during Aug/Sep, when the water is coldest and weather driest.
And since you have a spare seat, FYI I'm free in Sep but not Aug/Oct in 2013! LOL

You will have to fight Luisa for that spare seat!
