About Marlon’s Crack
Marlon’s Crack is a sloping coral wall in the Munda area of the Solomon Islands, with crevices and small caves that break the reef into a readable line from the shallow top to the deeper edge. The shallow section works well for freediving and snorkeling, while scuba divers can follow the deeper line for hard coral, reef fish, barracuda, and reef sharks. Plan it as a guided boat dive in settled tide and weather.
