Dive @ Turtle Bay Lodge

Meet Dive @ Turtle Bay Lodge, the first PADI Diving Resort on the East Coast of Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu. Set a 20-minute drive north of Luganville, the centre sits between Santo's world-famous blue holes, coconut plantations and the South Pacific Ocean — with the PADI Center located right on site.

Courses and diving for every level

Whether you've never dived or you're building your qualifications, there's something here for everyone. Absolute beginners take their first steps in the resort's own swimming pool before heading into the sea, while the course range runs from introductory Scuba Diving and PADI Open Water through Advanced, Rescue, a wide selection of Specialty Courses and Divemaster. Much of the theory can be studied from home before you arrive.

The team is led by two PADI Staff Instructors, each with over 20 years of experience guiding and teaching around the world, and group sizes are kept small. Straight from the lodge you'll reach reefs suited to qualified and budding divers alike — plus the famous blue holes for something a little different, and the chance to explore the House Reef at Turtle Bay.
