We spent a week on the island of Espiritu Santo, primarily to dive the SS President Coolidge. The experience was very different to our time on Hideaway Island — a much more “regimented” feeling was apparent. Still, we had a great time, and again, the diving was extraordinary.
SS President Coolidge
The first dive on the Coolidge took us to the Promenade Deck
The dive guides had a thing for removing their regs and blowing bubble rings — quite clever of them!
Million Dollar Point
We decided to try a dive at Million Dollar Point — basically a huge rubbish pile, full of tractors, bulldozers, trucks, jeeps and other assorted machinery that the US Army decided to dump after World War 2. Quite a waste really, but it does make for a great dive.
Fish feeding
The fish at the deco stop on the Coolidge are very much used to divers, so much so that when anyone brings along a bit of food, there’s a mad dash and a feeding frenzy ensues.
Lionfish
Our last dive on the Coolidge was a night dive — and the most amazing part of it was the lionfish activity! These fish come out at night to hunt the smaller reef fish — watch the video to see how it all works out!
