Join Dive Centre Manly to dive the famous WWII wrecks of Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu.
Why This Trip Will Amaze You: Tick off that bucket list item, the SS President Coolidge & explore Million Dollar Point, graveyard of WWII equipment. Beyond the incredible WWII history, Santo also boasts magnificent coral reefs, abundant with marine life.
Why You’ll Love This Trip: The Coolidge is the world’s largest wreck accessible as a shore dive, so vast it takes days to explore, with lots of hidden treasures including a swimming pool, doctor’s surgery and the famous Lady.
Why this trip stands out: You'll be guided by the local experts at Pacific Dive, with additional guidance from your Dive Centre Manly Tour Leader, who will also provide any training required.
Where you'll stay: Deco Stop Lodge has been a favourite with divers for many years. Perched high on a hilltop, it's the perfect place to wind down with a cold Tusker beer and watch the sunset over the lagoon.
