Diving & Accommodation Packages, Port Vila, Vanuatu.

Hi to everyone in the diving fraternity.

Unless you were under a rock for the last month you would have heard the Vanuatu was hit with one of the biggest cyclones in the southern hemisphere ever. Yep sure was a good one!!

The cyclone occurred on Friday the 13 of March 2015. Well I’m here to tell you we were back in action in less than 7 days.

Due to the wind direction our reefs and wrecks got off unaffected from any damage. With a dramatic drop in water temperature the coral is actually thriving.

We are now well into 2016 and we are still finding tourism a little slow, the Australian economy has slowed considerably and we have had 2 airlines stop flying in due to low volumes of tourists. Air Vanuatu and lots of other small carriers are still busy bringing us tourist so if you were looking for a holiday to a great destination that is not overly busy now is the time to come to Port Vila, Vanuatu.

All tour operators are up and running as with most restaurants, bars, accommodation houses  A couple of the bigger resorts, Iririki Island Resort and The Holiday Inn have had a full make over and will be open at May 2016.

We had a dive group in from ProDive Sydney less than 3 week after the cyclone that stayed in our accommodation and did around 80 dives and here is what they had to say: Diving With Nautilus After Cyclone Pam

Airfares are very affordable currently and we have a great package available here however you must take advantage of this offer before the end of August 2016.
