Dive Area & Sites

The Solomon Islands offer wild, untouched diving in one of the Pacific's most remote and pristine marine environments, where vibrant reefs meet fascinating World War II history. The waters around Guadalcanal and the Florida Islands are scattered with sunken warships, aircraft, and landing craft from fierce Pacific battles, now transformed into artificial reefs teeming with life. Beyond the wrecks, divers discover dramatic drop-offs, current-swept passages, and healthy coral gardens hosting an incredible diversity of reef fish and invertebrates. Manta rays, grey reef sharks, and large schools of barracuda are regularly encountered, while the macro life includes pygmy seahorses, ornate ghost pipefish, and colorful nudibranchs. The relative isolation of the Solomons means uncrowded dive sites, pristine water conditions, and a genuine sense of exploration and discovery.

Insurance Recommendation

We strongly recommend all guests to purchase comprehensive dive accident insurance and trip cancellation insurance before departure. Dive accident insurance covers medical treatment, hyperbaric chamber costs, and emergency evacuation in the event of a diving incident. Trip cancellation insurance protects your financial investment, not only if you need to cancel or cut short your trip due to personal illness, injury, or other unforeseen circumstances, but also if the trip is postponed or cancelled by the operator due to severe weather, technical issues, or other operational reasons. In the unlikely event of operator insolvency, cancellation insurance can also help recover your payments. Please ensure your policies are valid for the entire duration of your trip and cover the planned activities.

Medical Form Required

A valid dive medical certificate or an accepted medical form is required for all guests on this vessel. You can submit a doctor's certificate confirming your fitness to dive, or complete and sign the medical form yourself if the form and operator permit self-declaration. If your answers or the operator's rules require medical clearance, a doctor's approval is mandatory; signing at your own risk does not replace it. Permission to dive remains subject to the operator's requirements. Download the form, complete it for each guest and upload the signed document in your booking area.

Rental Gear

Scuba equipment can be rented for an additional cost. Full equipment bundles (BCD, regulator, wetsuit, fins, mask, and snorkel) range from 300-450 USD per excursion. Individual items are available: Regulators (120-180 USD), BCDs or Wetsuits (90-135 USD), Dive Computers (120-180 USD), and Nitrox tanks (180-270 USD). Additional amenities include PADI/SSI training ($100-$325) and laundry support ($1 per garment).
