Get up close to the wonders of Vanuatu's only marine sanctuary in a way that's impossible by snorkel. From first time beginners who'd just like to try a dive to those who'd like to upgrade their current qualifications, we can help at the fully SSI and PADI accredited Hideaway Island Dive shop.

Hideaway Island is a training centre with a difference. Located in a large, protected bay, offering perfect conditions for new divers of almost any age (regulations stipulate that we can't teach you unless you are at least 12 years old). Beginners acquire their skills surrounded by fish in the waist-deep, almost currentless waters right off the shore.

Below are some of the various courses Hideaway offers. It is also possible to take the theory portion of the course with a local instructor at home and complete the diving at Hideaway Island.
