Marine Life

Solomon Islands is known, not only for its biodiversity, but also the dive site diversity. You can expect walls, wrecks, bommies, coral gardens, shipwrecks, dumpsites, macro sites, wide angle sites and more; truly something for everyone. From Nudibranchs, Cuttlefish, and sharks, to Pygmy seahorses, Manta rays and schools of Jacks and Barracuda the opportunities are endless, especially for underwater photographers. In some cases visibility may only be 10 or 15 feet, because of all the fish blocking your view!
