Diving Adventures in Vanuatu: MV Silent One

Expand your horizons on the MV Silent One - Vanuatu's only live-aboard dive and adventure vessel operating scheduled weekly expeditions. Make your adventure as relaxing or adventurous as you like, whilst discovering the untouched paradise that is the islands of Vanuatu. Silentworld takes you to places that have never previously been explored, inaccessible by land.

The dive enthusiast will see the best Vanuatu has to offer. Fantastic drop off walls, drift dives, sharks feeding, amazing lava tubes off the island of Nguna, and of course the most famous wreck dive in the South Pacific, the President Coolidge. For those that are not so keen on diving, snorkelling with the resident dugong in the shallow waters just off Epi island is not to be missed.

If you're an adventurer at heart, you'll love the opportunity to take a guided hike up the side of an active volcano and through rainforests, soaking up the sun on some of the world's most pristine, isolated beaches and sea kayaking expeditions around some amazing scenery.

All itineraries are six nights, five full days and fully inclusive of all meals and snacks, as prepared by the fantastic chef on board. Divers can do up to five dives per day, and all diving and adventure activities are included in the total tariff.
