Tranquillity Island is a 5* PADI Resort that offers PADI courses for every level of diver. Courses are often taught one on one and with perfect diving conditions and experienced instructors, there is no better place to learn to dive. Moso Island is blessed with an abundance of marine life. We have privileged access to the best reef diving spots off Efate, and arguably Vanuatu. With over 20 different sites, we offer a range of activities for all requirements, whether you’re an experienced diver or yet to blow your first bubbles. Shore dives from right in front of the resort offer spectacular coral gardens teeming with fish of all colours and sizes. A short drive on our dive boat ‘Manatee’ will take you to stunning underwater landscapes, large bommies, thermal vents, swim-throughs, caves, drift dives and two wreck dives. We also dive at Hat Island. Our dive sites have an exceptional range of pristine soft and hard corals, reef fish and pelagics. Divers and snorkelers regularly spot turtles, eagle and cowtail rays and a range of marine mammals like dolphins and dugongs are sometimes seen. Visibility is rarely below 20 metres and often exceeds 40. Water temperature ranges from 24 degrees in our ‘winter’ to over 30 degrees during the summer wet season. Night dives and early morning dives are available for overnight guests on request. Almost all of our sites, with the exception of the wreck dives and a few deeper and more exposed sites; are ideal for Free Divers and snorkelers. Our dive boat is equipped with a walk in platform, exit ladder, toilet, small galley and spacious sun deck.
