About Erik’s Encounter
Erik’s Encounter is a remote Solomon Islands wall dive with a long face that starts shallow and drops steadily into deeper water. The site is exposed when wind picks up, so swell can build across the wall, and the tidal flow can run in either direction. It suits divers who are comfortable reading moving water and planning around changing surface conditions.
