Why choose the full dive week?
This is the Vanuatu format for divers who want the destination to unfold across a full week rather than compressing the experience into a short escape.
More site variety
The planned diving draws on the Moso Island, Hat Island and Paul’s Rock areas. The local operator selects the safest and most rewarding sites for the day’s conditions.
Island time between dives
The week leaves room for the pool, kayaks, the ocean outlook, local exploring and time to enjoy Vanuatu without rushing from one activity to the next.
Small-group format: a minimum of 6 people is required for the departure to proceed, with a maximum of 12 guests.
What the diving can include
The exact itinerary is never fixed in advance. Weather, sea state, current, visibility, local access and the experience of the group determine the final site plan.
Moso Island reefs
Warm-water reef diving with coral gardens, tropical fish life, bommies and changing reef terrain across the wider Moso and Havannah Harbour area.
Hat Island / Eretoka
A weather-dependent offshore option offering walls, reef structure and blue-water views when sea conditions and the day’s boat plan allow.
Paul’s Rock
A compact deep-water coral pinnacle where walls, gullies and gorgonian habitat concentrate reef fish. The route and depth are matched to conditions and diver ability.
Wildlife remains wild. Turtles and pelagic visitors are possible, but no particular animal or dive site can be guaranteed. Any swim-through is optional, condition-dependent and used only when the guide considers it appropriate; an exterior route remains available.
