We DIVE Million $$$ Point! | Sailing with Six | Ep 39
We get a beautiful downwind sail from Port Sandwich on Malekula Island to Aore Island in the Vanuatu island chain. We learn about Luganville, the commercial centre of Vanuatu’s Northern Islands and explore this sleepy town on a Sunday while waiting for the cloud to clear and the sun to come out so we can dive the famous Million Dollar Point.
This is a fascinating dive sight full of World War II debris that the Americans dumped into the ocean before leaving their station on the island. As the story goes, they decided in a mad moment that if the current French and British run country were not willing to pay even a small amount for the remaining equipment and supplies that they would instead dispose of it off the wharf. The locals recovered what they could after the Americans had left but there is still a lot to discover on the ocean floor which in many ways has created a tourist attraction and an artificial reef.
We hope you enjoy this episode and get on board to watch more of our adventures.
