Aquamarine is now taking divers to the Tui Tawate, a New Zealand tug famous for her rescue efforts in the sinking of the Wahine Ferry as well as her days doing oil salvage on the SS President Cooldige. Resting in 45 meters, the Tui Tawate is just waiting to greet divers. With the SS President Coolidge, the USS Tucker and the Tui Tawate, Espiritu Santo now offers divers 3 historical wrecks! What better place for a wreck diving holiday? Read about diving the Tui Tawate with Aquamarine as featured in the August issue of Dive Log.

TRIMIX Hits The SS President Coolidge

For divers eager to explore the stern and rear sections of the SS President Coolidge, Aquamarine has answered their diving prayers! Trimix diving and trimix courses are now available through Aquamarine -- and trimix divers will tell you that exploring the stern and rear sections of the Coolidge on Trimix is superb! Much less narcosis and of course, much safer. Aquamarine also uses the Coolidge as their training site for Trimix courses. Read all about Trimix on the Coolidge here.
