Why You Can’t Miss
Diving in the Solomon Islands
Imagine descending into one of the last truly untouched dive destinations on Earth—where coral reefs stretch endlessly, WWII history lies beneath the surface, and encounters feel raw, authentic, and uncrowded. The Solomon Islands sit at the heart of the Coral Triangle, delivering extraordinary biodiversity, dramatic underwater terrain, and a sense of exploration that’s becoming increasingly rare in modern diving. From pristine walls and coral gardens to historic wrecks and sunlit caverns, every dive feels like discovery rather than repetition. Add warm Pacific waters, vibrant marine life, and remote island scenery, and it’s easy to understand why the Solomons remain a quiet legend among experienced divers. This isn’t mass-market diving—it’s a return to what exploration was meant to feel like.
- Untouched Coral Triangle Biodiversity: Dive into one of the most biologically rich marine regions on the planet, where dense schools of reef fish, sharks, rays, turtles, and thriving hard and soft corals coexist in remarkably healthy ecosystems—often with no other divers in sight.
- Dynamic Underwater Topography: Explore steep walls, pinnacles, coral bommies, sunlit caverns, and swim-throughs that create constant visual variety. The Solomons deliver both wide-angle spectacle and intimate reef detail on the same itinerary.
- Authentic, Low-Traffic Diving: With very limited tourism infrastructure, the Solomon Islands remain refreshingly uncrowded. Dive sites feel remote and pristine, offering a rare sense of exclusivity and exploration that seasoned divers crave.
- Liveaboard Comfort in a Remote Paradise: Between dives, relax aboard a world-class liveaboard with spacious decks, comfortable lounges, chef-prepared meals, and panoramic ocean views—allowing you to reach remote sites while enjoying effortless surface intervals in total comfort.

The Solomon Islands offer a fantastic mix of dives which include pinnacles and drop-offs, caverns and swim-throughs, unspoilt reefs and a variety of wrecks. Diving conditions vary based on the season, currents and time of day.
Most of the reefs start close to the surface then drop off gradually allowing divers to explore extensively at relatively shallow depths. There are many wall dives, often in close proximity to a reef, making them excellent for multi-level dive profiles.
Some sites are subject to strong currents, which makes for exhilerating dives with lots of pelagic action, but also can be challenging for some divers. The majority of wrecks included on Solomons Master itineraries are within recreational limits, with maximum depths of 30-40 metres (98 – 130 feet)
Average visibility ranges from 25 to 40 metres (75 to 125 feet). However, the Solomon Islands waters are rich in nutrients, which means visibility can be significantly less on some dives. In other cases visibility may be reduced simply because of all the abundance of fish!
