You might have heard the name Vanuatu if you are a fan of the TV show Survivor. The ninth season in 2004 was filmed there.
Vanuatu is in the South Pacific west of Fiji and about 1,700 kilometers east of Northern Australia. Although English is the main language, it was a French colony. Here is the only place you will find an intact ocean liner, the SS Coolidge. Just a few hundred metres off shore you will find it lying on its side. It was named after 
Calvin Coolidge, the 30th president of the U.S. and was built in 1931. In its day it could carry 3,500 passengers but in 1941 it was painted gun metal grey and converted to carry 5,000 troops. It was during one of its troop transports that it hit a mine and began to sink. The captain ran it ashore on Espiritu Santo and almost all of the 5,000 troops made it off the ship as the waded onto the beach. The Coolidge slid off the beach a couple hours later and sank into deeper water.
To dive this 656 foot long ship you need only wade out into the water about 100 ft where you will find a rope. The rope will take you to the bow of the ship which is in about 60ft of water and the stern will be at 180 ft, a deep dive for sure. Most dives done on the Coolidge will be decompression dives. This means you will need to 
make stops during your accent to allow your body extra time to release excess nitrogen that has collected in your body. Depending on the time you spent in deep water and how deep you were, you can spend almost an hour off-gassing the nitrogen.
One “must see” while diving the Coolidge is The Lady. She is a three dimensional fresco of a unicorn and a lady that is found in the first class smoking room. Divers from all over the world come here to “kiss the lady” hoping for good luck.
