10 Good Reasons to Dive Port Vila with Nautilus Scuba

If diving is your game, Vanuatu has it all. The biggest accessible wreck in the world, amazing reef diving, sunken planes and adrenaline packed pelagic diving.
A mandatory stop for any Vanuatu diving excursion is Port Vila. Enjoy some of Vanuatu's most diverse diving while relaxing on-shore on Vanuatu time. Sipping cocktails while watching the sun go down and enjoying the best cuisine in the South Pacific.

And the best operator to dive with in Port Vila is Nautilus Scuba. The longest running dive operation in Vanuatu, the best equipment and dive boats and friendly staff all come together to provide you with a great diving holiday. Here are a few good reasons for including Nautilus Scuba on your Vanuatu diving itinerary:

1. The Pacific's most amazing cavern dive
The Cathedral is THE must-do dive while you're in Vanuatu. Enter at 20m through the sea wall and ascend through a chimney 200m in-land for talk with your dive buddy.

2. The Tale of Two Planes
Two amazing plane wrecks. A submerged WWII fighter bomber in amazing visibility and a Qantas sea-plane in the abyss of Port Vila harbour. Both unique dives with a story behind them.

3. Turtles Galore
With two custom built dive boats we're the operator to dive Port Vila's best dive, Pauls Rock most frequently. A haven for turtles, dogtooth tuna and some amazing swim-throughs.

4. The Star
Built by the same builders of the Titanic, the Star of Russia once ruled the sea trade. An iron hulled three masted square rigger, she was renowned for her good looks, seaworthiness and speed. Now resting at the bottom of Port Vila harbour with her hull fully intact she's a great dive with a unique story we'd love to tell you.

5. Great Wreck Diving
If you're off to dive the President Coolidge we can offer some great wreck diving as a build up. Dive two island traders sunk especially for that purpose. One in 26m and the other in 45m. Both great dives with some spectacular marine life, including the biggest lionfish you will ever see!

6. Amazing Cuisine
With a curious blend of French, Asian and Pacific Flavors, Vanuatu boasts some great, yet laid back cafes and restaurants.

7. Vanuatu Time
While our dive boats run on the dot every morning and afternoon, you can enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and slow pace of Port Vila.

8. Roomy Dive Boats
We're the only Port Vila operator to boast two custom built dive boats, with all the space in the world to ensure your experience above water is a good one!

9. Reefs to Rave About!
The reefs of Mele Bay, Havannah Harbour and Pango Peninsula consistently provide great diving. Some of the best hard coral you'll see anywhere in the world, huge schools of fish and the chance to see manta rays, turtles and pelagics.

10. Big Smiles!
We love taking people diving. Pure and simple. Our dive guides and instructors are a mixture of indigenous Ni-Vanuatu and expatriate Australians and you can be sure that they'll work as hard as they can to make sure you have FUN while you dive with us.
