Vaughani Shores launches special

Vaughani Shores News Update 2nd October: Diving and snorkelling at Vaughani Shores Vanuatu just got better with a promotion they are having until the end of this year. On Tues & Thurs only they are offering local rates for visitors until the end of 2009. That's 15% off everything. Are you seeking spectacular diving and snorkelling near Port Vila where you can immerse yourself in understanding, photographing, and experiencing local marine life? Vaughani Shores specialises in guided cavern diving and advanced snorkelling in an off-the-beaten path adventure. We are located just beyond Devils Point in Pangona, 25 min. west of Port Vila. We take no more than 4 divers and snorkellers at a time, so your excursion is guaranteed to be personable and catered to your comfort level.

We offer an interpretive ecological experience that includes optional marine life slide shows, photos and videos of your dives or snorkels, as well as introductory and continuing courses. Other options include BBQ meals, B&B accommodation, and relaxing in hammocks among old growth trees or exploring the rocky tidepools along the shoreline between dives. Child supervision is complimentary.

The house reef is a panorama of small and large caverns and crevices that connect via shallow channels and deeper bommies adorned with red, pink, and deep purple coralline algae. Stunningly beautiful critters complementing the intricate geography include yellow and blue lace corals, large red gorgonians, and perched feather stars. These colourful filter feeders stand out in the mild current against the plethora of tropical fish, soft and stony corals, giant clams and other invertebrates that complete the seascape of ledges and overhangs.

The water is extremely clear and the reefs are pristine, with several sites 5-10 min from our location yet to be fully explored. Vaughani Shores is a PADI Project AWARE Go ECO operator.
