Panngi (also spelled Pangi) is the main village of southern Pentecost and the practical base for most visitors coming for the land dive. It sits on the southwest coast, a short drive from Lonorore Airport, with a wharf for the inter-island ships, a small market on Saturdays, and a handful of basic village-stay bungalows that double as the land-dive headquarters during the season.
Outside the land-dive Saturdays, Panngi is a quiet coastal village — people working in the gardens, kids on the beach in the afternoon, the occasional copra truck rumbling past.
