Gone Diving Vanuatu is our in-house brand new PADI Dive Resort, situated on the beach in a Marine Protected Area in Mele Bay, at the coast stretch between the dive sites Twin Bommies and The Cathedral.We are open every day for fun dives, courses and night dives, always run by PADI and HSA (Handicapped Scuba Association) instructors Anne and Petter.
If you want to rent equipment, or bring your own and want to keep it clean and safe between dives, we have you covered.
Contact us for dive packages. We make new offers every month. What are you waiting for? Put up your “Gone Diving” sign and come and make South Pacific Memories with us!
We offer a range of PADI courses, all the way from your very first Discover Scuba dive and Open Water certification, to a variety of Speciality courses, and we also do the first PADI professional level, Dive Master.
To get the most of your Holiday, contact us to do your eLearning before you come, and then we´ll do the diving as soon as you arrive.
Our opening hours are:
Monday – Sunday, 09:00 AM – 08:00 PM.
We often meet moray eels, turtles, cuttlefish, sea snakes, and garden eels.
Every now and then we are in for great encounters with dugongs, octopus, nautilus, shark, sting rays and manta rays.
We have not yet met dolphins while diving, but a nice school of Dolphins passes our beach several times a week, so one day!! Maybe you could be the first?
We do courses and fun dives at our own House Reef, that is home to an amazing variety and amount of reef fish.
Having done hundreds of dives here, many of the inhabitants know us well, and come nice and close to say hello and of course check out our new guests.
You can expect to meet several angelfish, surgeonfish, heaps of butterflyfish and damselfish in all colours and patterns, nemo lives here, together with Jacks and groupers, breams, fusiliers, lionfish, and the beautiful smaller inhabitants, like nudibranchs, and worms.
The House Reef has three sandy decks on depth levels which makes the reef a perfect dive spot for all divers, and of course for dive training: “The Dugong Deck” (yes, named after several dugong encounters right there) at 8 meters depth, “The Stingray Deck” (also named after amazing Sting ray encounters) at 10-12 meter and “Rock Star City” at 12 -18 meters (yes, this is where we meet the true Rock stars of the Reef).
The Drop Off starts at 20 meters and has a nice wall.
As the reef system has a lot of cracks and caves, it is very interesting for night diving.
For morning dive, we meet up at 10:00 AM, the afternoon dive at 14:00 PM and for the night dive at 6:00 PM.
