Scuba
What It Feels Like
Scuba is the main reason to book the circuit. Liveaboards can offer up to four day dives plus a night dive when conditions and itinerary allow, using tenders for easy entries and exits. The route moves from shallow aircraft wrecks and coral gardens to advanced walls, cuts, and deep wrecks. The best trips balance Russell Islands light-filled cuts, Mary Island fish schools, Tulagi and Guadalcanal World War II wrecks, and Marovo Lagoon reef and village time.
Signature Sites
Start Here
Remote Mborokua often becomes a full day of diving for hard coral, jacks, barracuda, reef sharks, bumphead parrotfish, and bluewater watching.
A Mundaarea canyoned reef with snorkelable shallows, wall lines, hard coral, and pelagic potential when the surface approach is calm.
Advanced
A Solomon Islands classic in the Russell Islands, with a narrow reef cut, rainforest overhead, and light beams that are best planned for clear midday conditions.
A Florida Islands favorite where divers descend through twin openings before working a wall and reef system rich in fish life.
A photogenic shallow aircraft wreck near Tulagi that gives less experienced divers a World War II wreck experience without deep technical planning.

Operator Checklist
Book the boat first, then build flights and land extensions around embarkation and disembarkation. Confirm whether marine, park, port, fuel, and kastom fees are included or paid on board. Ask about nitrox, tank valves, camera room power, night diving, rental computers, and insurance requirements. Avoid scheduling a flight right after disembarkation because repetitive multi-day diving needs a proper no-fly interval.
