Special Interests

The shipwrecks in the Solomon Islands have mostly grown into perfect artificial reefscapes with an eerie touch of the violent history, over 50 years ago. Of course, if you are into sunken relicts, there are a lot of interesting things down there to look at (books, bottles, ammunition, toilet seats, and bikes, what have you). Don't take anything away as these wrecks are historical monuments and protected by the law. Surface intervals between dives are often used to visit the close by island villages. The hospitality on these islands and the colourful display of their culture is always worth while a visit.
