Overview: 2022 marks the 80th anniversary of the sinking of the SS President Coolidge, a WWII troop carrier that is today one of the best wreck dives of its type in the world. Sitting just off the coast of Luganville, which is on Espiritu Santo in Vanuatu, it’s an iconic adventure for both experienced and amateur divers thanks to its size (it’s 200 metres long!) and unique artefacts. In commemoration of the anniversary (which fell on 26 October, to be precise), Allways Dive is offering a special deal for travellers wishing to explore the wreck, including accommodation in one of Luganville’s most popular hotels, The Espiritu Hotel, flights, transfers, shore dives with Pacific Dive Santo and a WWII history tour of Santo.

Inclusions:

  • Return airfares from Australia (Sydney/Melbourne/Brisbane) to Vanuatu (Port Vila) and onto Espiritu Santo
  • 1 night in Port Vila at Moorings Hotel Vanuatu – twin share in a standard room, continental breakfast and return airport transfers
  • 7 nights at The Espiritu Hotel, in Luganville – twin share in a standard room, continental breakfast and return airport transfers
  • 10 shore dives with Pacific Dive Santo – including tank, weight and air fills
  • 1 free shore dive with Pacific Dive Santo per diver
  • 1 free WWII tour of Santo – visit historical sites and the South Pacific WWII Museum

Price: from $2,890* per diver twin share. (For any non-divers travelling, prices start at $1,990*). Single rooms are available for an additional $675.
