Review about Diving Million Dollar Point

Million Dollar Point

At the end of the war, Americans dumped tonnes of their equipment, including jeeps, and planes into the shallow water off Million Dollar Point (so named after the amount of money the equipment was worth.). The assorted military paraphernalia has since grown over with a variety of colourful hard and soft corals and makes for very interesting diving. Divers can see six wheeled Studebakers, a range of army jeeps and trucks, bulldozers, tractors and steam rollers as well as the wrecks of two ships, sunk whole while attempting to salvage gear. Fish have now colonised the site's machinery and divers can swim in and outside the vehicles.

The waters off Vanuatu are warm enough to dive in all year round.
