Highlights
Circular itinerary exploring the Solomon Islands
Leru Cut: One of the most iconic sites in the Solomon Islands
Meet the White and Blacktip sharks of Karamulon point
Explore the largest saltwater lagoon in the world at Marovo Lagoon
Visit local villages to see a traditional way of life
Day 1: Once onboard, there will be a safety briefing, crew introduction, complete and check dive paperwork, cabin allocation, and boat orientation. Our boats moor in the port on arrival day, departing early the next morning. The first dive is a check dive near the port.

Days 2-9: Visiting places such as the Russell Islands, the Florida Islands, Mary Island, and Marovo Lagoon, you will be immersed in so many sensory experiences, from breathtakingly beautiful corals to fascinating war relics, cave dives, and jungle-covered dives with marine life ranging from the massive to the macro.

You can dive Kicha—where friendly batfish follow divers around while giant bumphead parrotfish chomp on coral—all the time hearing the sounds of underwater volcano Kavachi.

There is Karumolun Point, where the local chief has banned all fishing for years, creating a protected marine area that will blow your mind with the variety of life and its beauty all around.

And, of course, there’s Mary Island. This is the place often referred to as the ‘best dive of a trip’ where we often stay all day to enjoy the schools of fish, sharks, turtles, and bumphead parrot fish.

Day 10: On the last diving day, 2-3 dives are available in the morning whilst observing the rule of no diving within 24 hours of reaching altitude. The final evening is a drinks and gala dinner night with bills settled the following morning from 6:30am with departure at 8am.

Day 11: Depart for the airport or hotel.
