About Semele
Semele is a deep Port Vila wreck-to-reef dive for experienced divers who want a dramatic wreck start and a slower move onto nearby coral. The cargo vessel is normally approached by boat in clear blue water, with the wreck showing on the descent before the route continues over the reef. It is not suitable for penetration, and the depth makes gas planning and ascent discipline essential.
