On this picture our diving vessel IMPERATOR (20m long) is moving from "Duck island" to "Anse Vata" jetty, towing the "small" NOUMEA DIVING (9m) ;
the great barrier reef, Amedee light house, Boulari and Dumbea passages are about 50 minutes from this place.

In regard of the remoteness of the dive sites (over one hour) we only offer DAY TRIPS,
by this way, we have done the choice for a COMFORTABLE diving VESSEL, for FEW DIVERS and SMALL GROUPS
Allowing you to TAKE YOUR TIME, to STAY REST aboard and to ENJOY cruising and diving both.

Don't wait anymore : join us !
