Solomon Islands Day Diving

World War II wrecks and marine life to blow your mind

Variety is the spice of life

Diving in the Solomon Islands is a special experience with an incredible variety of sights on offer.

This remote South Pacific destination is renowned for its biodiversity, with vibrant marine life including reef sharks, barracuda, pygmy seahorses, and giant manta rays – among so much more.

It also has a wealth of World War II wrecks to explore. The Battle of Guadalcanal was brutal but became a turning point of the war and remnants from one of the most intense battles of the conflict provide an amazing underwater adventure. The waters around Guadalcanal and Tulagi provide a history lesson you can witness first-hand.

Visibility is superb, and the lack of crowds means you will get peaceful, unspoiled encounters. The islands’ warm waters and variety of dive types – from walls and caverns to muck diving – cater to all skill levels.

With its mix of natural beauty and history, the Solomon Islands offer one of the last true frontiers of world-class scuba diving.
