Dive Conditions
The Solomon Islands offer great diving conditions all year-round. The water temperatures are stable at 26-29°C/80-85°F. Visibility is generally around 15 meters/50 feet to 21 meters/60 feet or more. Also, on dives over deep water, you can expect a visibility that exceeds 30 meters/100 feet.
The Solomon Islands has some of the most pristine dive sites in the world. Unspoiled because of the remote location, there are not many divers or fishermen to put pressure on the reef and fish. The marine diversity of the Solomon Islands is without equal. Hundreds of world-class wrecks, dramatic caves, endless lush coral gardens, biodiversity to rival other Coral Triangle destinations like Indonesia, PNG, and the Philippines, little to no other dive boats around; the Solomon Islands are a scuba diving paradise.
Lying at the eastern edge of the Coral Triangle, the Solomons offer an impressive diversity of marine life, ranging from nudibranchs to cuttlefish and a wealth of other critters. Fish life is also abundant, including massive schools of trevally and barracuda, along with a vast assortment of colorful reef fish. Many reefs offer abundant healthy hard coral, sponges, fans, and soft coral. Underwater terrain is varied, including walls, slopes, coral gardens, and pinnacles, plus dramatic and highly photographic caverns.
