The yacht club in Port Vila with some power boats tied to the wharf.
Bungalows at a private resort on a small island on the other side of the harbor from Nautilus Watersports.
A landing craft loading up for a trip to somewhere.
This is the biggest, tallest building in all of Vanuatu.
Looking back into the harbor.
On the morning boat ride out to the dive sites, we passed a sailing ship that had arrived in the harbor the night before. There were several people crawling around up in the rigging getting ready for the boat to sail onward.
Looking from the harbor out toward the sea.
Some locals fishing on the reef.
The back of the dive boat.
The dive shop also runs a fishing charter business.
These are some photos in the bunkhouse where I stayed. I could have paid much more money to stay in a resort down the way but I didn’t feel like going completely broke.
I had the lower bunk.
Another beautiful morning at the Nautilus Watersports dock.
Looking back at the Nautilus buildings.
Port Vila’s tugboat.
Interesting rock formation.

In the afternoon I went with three men from New Zealand who had just returned from a five day charter fishing trip to the resort of Hideaway Island.
The entire island is the resort.
Kids playing in the water.
The kids had loads of fun jumping off the boat as it pulled away.
Arriving at Hideaway Island.
