Why dive here
With 306+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, dugongs, dwarf minke whales, eagle rays and giant moray eels - Gotham City offers some of Port Vila & Efate's richest wall diving. Water ranges 26-29°C, warmest January, February, March.
Gotham City, off Efate, gives you a wall dive dropping into the blue. We typically see schools of barracuda cruising the deeper sections, often with reef sharks making a pass. It’s a site for those who enjoy drifting along a reef face, seeing what comes out of the deeper water. Expect good visibility on most days.
