Diving & Snorkelling

Offering some of the most extraordinary diving and snorkelling experiences in the world, the Solomon Islands are an unmissable adventure for any travel enthusiast. This stunning archipelago is world renowned for its unbeatable diving and snorkelling spots. The rich marine biodiversity and rainbow tropical coral reefs must be seen to be believed.

Whether you're a seasoned diver or a beginner snorkeler, the Solomon Islands provide an underwater paradise like no other.

One of the main reasons the Solomon Islands stand out is the unparalleled diversity of marine life. With over 500 species of fish, 20 types of whales and dolphins, and vibrant coral gardens, it’s a true haven for ocean lovers. The waters around the islands are also home to WWII wrecks, offering a unique combination of history and adventure for diving enthusiasts. Exploring these sunken relics is a journey into the past, where divers can see old warships, aircraft, and cargo ships teeming with fish and vibrant coral.

With relatively untouched and pristine underwater ecosystems, these islands make for an exceptional experience. The remote and less-crowded nature of the islands means that visitors often dive or snorkel in peaceful surroundings, avoiding the masses that can plague more popular travel destinations.

The islands also cater to all levels of experience. Beginners can enjoy shallow, calm reefs filled with tropical fish, while experienced divers can explore deeper waters with dramatic drop-offs, underwater caves, and hidden marine wonders. For snorkelers, many of the islands have accessible, vibrant reefs just off the shore.

With its combination of pristine environments, rich marine life, and historical intrigue, the Solomon Islands offer an unparalleled adventure for those seeking an unforgettable diving or snorkelling experience.
