About Koviki Corsair (Wreck)
Koviki Corsair (Wreck) is a deep Solomon Islands wreck for qualified divers who want a dramatic WWII aircraft on bright sand. The Corsair sits intact on the bottom and the dive finishes on a gentle reef slope, so the route is a focused wreck visit rather than an all-reef drift. Plan it as a boat-only expert dive where depth, gas, and ascent control matter more than current. Visibility is often excellent, and the wreck is known for big-fish encounters around the plane.
