Dive the Solomon Islands!!

There are two spots available at the trip below. Please reach out ASAP if you would like to join!

Hello divers! For our 2025 adventure we have an epic 10-day full charter liveaboard lined up in the Solomon Islands! This collection of islands sits between Australia and Papua New Guinea. It is within the Coral Triangle and given the remote location offers tons of very healthy marine life from macro critters (think pygmy seahorses!) all the way up to sharks and large pelagics. Add in caverns and great WWII wreck diving and this area has something for everyone. I realize it's a big trip, but this is a serious bucket list dive destination so you don't want to miss this one!

While the area is generally suitable for all experience levels, there are some sites that are not suitable for beginners. The dive operator recommends having a minimum of 40 logged dives and Advanced Open Water certification is recommended (but not required).
