Tonga

You will have the most amazing life experience in Tonga. Snorkeling with Humpback Whales. This is for the diver and non diver alike.

Tonga is a small group of pacific islands which located between Fiji, Samoa and the Cook Islands. In contrast to the other islands of the pacific, Tonga has always remained independent from any other western power. Until this day they still have a king coming from an old dynasty of kings and queens. The ancient Kingdom of Tonga is Polynesia’s oldest and last remaining monarchy.

The Kingdom of Tonga comprises 171 islands which spread across 700,000 sq km of ocean.  Tongatapu, the main gateway to the islands, is served by Air New Zealand with flights from Australia via Auckland & Polynesia Airlines direct out of Sydney.

May to October is the best time to visit. Summer, from November to April, is the hurricane season and can be hot, humid and wet.  The whale-watching season is from June to November on Tongatapu and Ha'apai, and July to November on Vava'u.

Tonga also offers a wide scope for other activities including, sea kayaking, hiking through rainforests to beautiful lakes, abseiling or just relaxing.  Tonga is known as the last great unspoilt holiday destination of the South Pacific.  Tonga is a dream come true for divers and snorkellers and it’s one of the few places left where you can find a beach just for yourself.  More>>>

Vanuatu

A must dive! This is the largest accessible shipwreck in the world. Dive with us on the Coolidge and you will be diving with the President Coolidge experts.The Coolidge is close to the shore and is virtually intact.
 
Sunk by a friendly mine in Santo waters, the ship lies in 20 - 70 meters (66 - 231 feet) of clear, calm water and offers divers the chance to explore the remnants of a World War II troop ship, which was formally a luxury liner.The ship is so big that even if you dived it ten times in different locations, you would still only view a part of it. Its night dive is also awesome with flashlight fish lighting up the bridge, cargo holds and bow.
 
As most of the dives are over 30 meters (100 feet), decompression stops are necessary. These stops are made on the coral garden where you can see a colourful array of hard coral, and fish life.
