Solomon Islands
Solomons Master (Starting Oct, 2022)
The Solomons comprise 992 islands, of which only 147 are inhabited. Situated to the northeast of Australia and southeast of Papua New Guinea, the Solomons are one of the last frontiers; untouched, peaceful and beautiful. Due to its remote location, the country offers some of the most pristine dive sites in the world, filled with innumerable unspoiled hard and soft corals. Indulge yourself in true picture postcard diving.
There is something for everyone in the Solomons. For those who like their creatures on the large side there are various types of shark cruising amid the spectacular scenery of jaw dropping reefs, walls and pinnacles. For the macro diver, there is a plethora of macro wonders to discover such as pygmy seahorses, nudibranchs, electric clams and ghost pipefish. The marine diversity in Solomon Islands is hard to beat!
Solomon Islands are THE destination for the real diving fan looking for a change of scenery, completely off the beaten track. You will also find: wrecks, caverns, wide-angle reefs and large sea fans. Solomon Islands rival any other Indo-Pacific dive travel destination for coral reefs, marine life and diversity but without the tourist numbers.
