Espiritu Santo & Tanna

Wow, 21,936 tonnes of WW2 converted liner, sitting upright in tropical blue water! The wreck is intact and full of artifacts, along with wide rooms, porthole lit passage ways and a few tight squeezes!

Santo isn't just all about the coolidge though, with million dollar point, the blue holes, champagne beach and millennium cave to name a few - not to mention the kava.

We dived with Rehan and Aquamarine who couldn't be more helpful especially for me on the rebreather, scraping even litre of oxygen together ( an earthquake broke the Port Vila O2 plant ) and tending to the three other twinset divers. 8 Days in Santo just wasn’t enough and I'm itching to get back.

However our trip moved onto Tanna and Mt Yasur! Mind-blowing! The ground shook, the volcano spewed and I tried hard not to leg it! This is one for your bucket list....!
