Santo diving offers great access to some of the world's best reefs and underwater caves, plus two of the world's most accessible shipwrecks. On the reefs, and in the underwater caves, you can see hundreds of colourful and interesting fish.
Great reef dives can be found around most of the Santo coast. Dive operators tend to stick to the south-east coast, the location of the wrecks of the SS President Coolidge and the USS Tucker and an area known as 'Million Dollar Point'. Wreck and reef diving is suitable for divers of any ability who have completed basic training.
The USS President Coolidge and the SS Tucker wreck dives lie just meters from the Vanuatu coastline, both highly accessible to anyone diving on the island of Santo. Both wrecks are American ships that during World War II.
The SS President Coolidge is a American luxury liner converted to a US troop ship during the second world war. It sank just meters from the shore and is generally considered the largest accessible wreck dive in the world, and the best dive in Santo. Novices can dive the main bulk of the ship, whereas more experienced divers can go deeper into the wreck to look at life on the inside.
The SS Tucker is an American destroyer stationed in Vanuatu during the second world war. It was accidently sunk by one of the USA's own mines, and now it too lies just offshore.
Diving the relatively shallow Million Dollar Point, divers can see huge areas of military war surplus that was simply dumped into the ocean when the Americans left Vanuatu at the end of the war. This Santo dive includes ammunition boxes, military vehicles and the odd bulldozer - items which make this one the most popular sites when diving in Santo. - 24585
