    Where to stay
    Shore diving from a beachfront resort or dive lodge, often just steps from the water. A quiet, remote site — book lodging well in advance.
    Good to know
    • Gentle conditions — great for long, unhurried dives.
    • Conditions can be demanding; dive with an operator who knows the site.
    • An Advanced Open Water certification is recommended.

    Why go

    Million Dollar Point lies in the Pacific Ocean off Vanuatu and is centred on wreck dives, turning sunken vessels into reef-like habitat. Dives run to 25 m with around 15 m visibility, gentle currents and sea temperatures of 26–29°C. Marine highlights include WWII military equipment dump, corals and fish. Diving is possible year-round, typically reached by shore and boat. A good choice for divers with some experience. Open Water certification is sufficient for most sites here.

    Notes from divers

    Traveler

    Clear water and the chance of WWII military equipment dump — what more do you want?

    Instructor

    I bring my OW students here. The mild current makes a proper dive plan essential, and the briefing matters.
