DIVE INFORMATION
DIVING vanuatu
Most dives take place from small speed boats that transport divers to the local lagoons and reefs several times each day. Some sites are so close to shore that divers can walk in from the beach. There are a few sites with running currents that require some experience.
marine life
Visibility is excellent in Vanuatu, and divers are often overwhelmed by the sheer volume of fish life swirling around the reefs. Beautiful gorgonians, a rainbow of colorful corals, and some fascinating underwater topography create a dramatic backdrop to the thousands of small reef fish constantly schooling in the shallower waters. Expect to see plenty of triggerfish, angelfish, batfish, and clownfish, as well as turtles and a few sharks at the outlying sites. Coral heads hide the more elusive species such as eels, octopus, and crustaceans, while rays can be seen in the sandy lagoons. Such a wealth of life attracts bigger game fish into the brisk currents of the outer reef walls, and bigeye tuna, barracuda, and jack are often spotted patrolling in the blue.
Vanuatu is also an excellent destination for divers looking to swim with dugongs. These shy mammals feed on seagrass close to shore and can be found throughout the archipelago. The chance to swim and snorkel with them is a fantastic and rare opportunity.
The islands’ numerous wrecks also offer some great photo opportunities and hide a few less common marine creatures. Crocodile fish and scorpionfish lurk amongst the rusting superstructures, and many other species now call these huge artificial reefs home.
