Holy Cow! *Climbing*? In Vanuatu?

Vanuatu is (as you probably know), the site of the President Coolidge - the largest divable shipwreck in the world - larger, in fact, than The Titanic. Various parts of the Coolidge are accessible to basic Open Water divers, with no additional training or experience. (Not a comment on you personally - I don't know anything about your diving qualifications or experience.)

In my humble opinion, anyone spending time in Vanuatu should plan to go diving - not climbing!
