SCUBA in VanuatuCountry forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Vanuatu | ||
Been reading the threads on Vanuatu (travelling there in early Jan) but have yet to find much info on SCUBA diving opportunities. I realise most accom is quite primitive (suits me fine) and therefore may not have faclities to hire gear and fill tanks, but I was wondering if there are any areas/resorts where the diving is good from the shore and there are dive facilities on site. TIA | ||
There is diving off Espiritu Santo Island, and dive operators in Luganville that do rentals and dive trips. There are two dive operators, Aquamarine and Santo Dive Tours. I did several dives to the SS President Coolidge with Aquamarine, they were excellent. Check out Dive Adventures for some more info on diving around Vanuatu. | 1 | |
Only Vila and Luganville have dive facilities. Fear not - the SS President Coolidge is one of the best dives in the world and you can do it a hundred times and see something new! Youll see the dive operators in town. In Vila head down to Nabawan Cafe and organise you dives there - great crew. Lots of wrecks - but I would recommend a nite dive | 2 | |
