The final resting place of the Coastal Trader "Kathleen" which sat on top of the reef until Cyclone Uma rooled her off the edge of the reef in 1987. This is a deep dive for experienced divers and photographers. Some current can be expected here.

Drop down from the dive boat into 6 metres of coral and reef fish. Swim past the edge and you are on the edge of the Abyss, a vertical drop down to 60m plus.

A deep dive to the gorgonian fans at 40m or a leisurly dive at 25m around the wall.  An occasional reef-shark or moray eel may be seen.

The top of this reef is excellent with many gutters running at all angles, teeming with coral reef fish.

Max Depth: 25m
Bottom Time: 40min
Safety Stop: 3min @ 5m

Where can you dive a 90m long sailing ship?  Port Vila of course!

Probably the only intact square-rigged sailing ship of this vintage, the "Star" was built by Harland and Wolf (builders of the SS Titanic) in the early 1800's. Used in the golden age of sail, to carry produce between the UK and Australia, she regularly used to beat the first steam ships in races to Australia.

Semle Federsen was an interisland cargo vessel, Deliberately sunk in 1885.

Cyclone Uma in 1897 moved the wreck to its present location.  The depths involved mean a disciplined dive plan must be followed.

The clarity of the water is a main feature with viz reaching 40m-60m!

Max Depth: 40m
Bottom Time: 14min
Safety Stop:  5min @ 5m; 10min @ 2m
