Tahiti – Rangiroa
Rangiroa is the largest atoll in French Polynesia and the second largest in the world. The white-sand Motu that make up this atoll are flat and covered in coconut trees, and only two are inhabited. The people that live here make a livelihood out of pearl farming, fishing, copra (dried meat of the coconut) and tourism.
Perhaps the most well-known feature of Rangiroa is its phenomenal lagoon, which is so massive that it has its own horizon! The waters are crystal clear, full of marine life and have a maximum depth of 35 metres. The biodiversity contained within this natural aquarium includes sharks, dolphins, rays, wrasse, tuna, barracuda, giant grouper, and an impressive array of reef fish, among many others.
The calm conditions and shallow waters make diving in the lagoon perfect for beginners and refresher courses. Drift dives through the various passes of the lagoon and out past the outer reef are accessible and suitable for the more advanced diver. Drop-offs, caves, walls, and canyons are some of the underwater topographical features that you can look forward to exploring.

Vanuatu – Tanna – White Grass Ocean Resort & Spa
Tanna Island lies in the blue waters of the South Pacific and is one of the southernmost islands of the Vanuatu archipelago. Stunning White Grass Ocean Resort & Spa is a haven for even the weariest traveller, as a guest can stay in this idyllic location to laze away many hours under a shady palm or take a dip in the sea.
Alternatively, there are a vast array of activities at your disposal – from visiting mighty Yasur volcano which seethes and belches at 15-30 minute intervals, to being welcomed into custom villages, fishing, diving or snorkelling on the pristine reef, to name just a few.
Upon landing at Tanna Airport following a short flight from Port Vila, a smiling staff member will assist you in the collection of your luggage and then drive you the 2km to your destination. At this point, most guests get an inkling of the pleasures that this lovely, four-star, boutique resort has to offer.
There are 20 private beachfront bungalows decorated in traditional Melanesian style and surrounded by beautifully manicured tropical gardens. All bungalows have an en-suite bathroom with a hot water shower and 24 hour electricity, mosquito canopied beds and cool tiled floors, ceiling fans, tea and coffee making facilities, mini refrigerator, screened windows, private verandahs and spectacular ocean views.
The resort’s goal has been to open the world class snorkelling reefs of Tanna, Vanuatu to the diving world. On offer is an unspoiled, untouched and unbelievable aquatic experience. The Volcanic Island of Tanna has virtually nil fresh-water runoff; therefore it offers unmatched visibility and dramatic marine landscapes, including caves, reef walls, amazing swim throughs and caverns, and a myriad of creatures and critters. Green Sea Turtles and the resident Dugong are big attractions. Macro lovers will love the little critters’ which abound at several of the sites. White Grass Ocean Resort & Spa has always been famous for some of the best snorkelling in Vanuatu and has now introduced great scuba diving sites. Volcano Island Divers is the first and only dive operation on Tanna and joins Vanuatu’s already great SCUBA diving locations. With full PADI Dive Centre accreditation, Volcano Island Divers provides friendly customer service and a fun, enjoyable and memorable marine experience, while maintaining professionalism and a high standard of safety.
