Epic Liveaboard Trip - Scuba Diving Solomon Islands | Kona Honu Dive Travel

Join us on one of our many epic dive travel Trips:

Scuba Diving Solomon Islands is easily one of the top dive destinations in the world. The sheer variety of Solomon Islands scuba diving will blow your mind.

A group of 20 divers traveled to the Solomon Islands to experience some of the world's best diving. The Solomon Islands is a Remote cluster of islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The Kona Honu Dive travel group hopped aboard the Bilikiki liveaboard. The liveaboard brought us to many amazing sites.

Solomons islands scuba diving is known for its wide variety of diving opportunities and this time it did not disappoint! We dove gorgeous reefs, massive wrecks, caves, muck, blackwater, drifted walls, clung to seamounts and marveled at macro life. We dove up to 5 times per day. When we weren’t diving we were treated to wonderful meals made from local produce purchased from dugout canoe floating markets. We were brought on shore to visit villages where locals sold wood carvings and performed for us. It was pure magic. Would we go back? That’s an easy yes! So much diving, so little time.

Uepi Island Resort - Marovo Lagune - Diving Amazing Solomon Islands

From their website :

Almost one thousand tropical islands stretching in a gentle arc from the eastern end of Papua New Guinea to the northern reaches of Vanuatu. Dominated by ocean expanses, dense green rain forest, endless blue lagoons, stunningly diverse coral reefs, and prolific fish life. Populated by Melanesians and Polynesians, the majority of who live in traditional rural villages and utilise traditional skills, knowledge and 'kastom' in their daily lives.

Marovo Lagoon
Marovo Lagoon is the longest saltwater lagoon in the world. The two major volcanic islands of Vangunu and New Georgia bound it on its southern and western sides. The northern boundary consists of 130 kms of raised barrier reef with about 100 individual islands along its length. A smaller third volcanic island, Gatakae Island, occupies the southeastern corner. The inner lagoon also has numerous islands. With its many and complex terrestrial and marine habitats, the natural beauty and environment of Marovo Lagoon is outstanding.

Uepi Island
A classic raised barrier reef island, covered in impressive rainforest, outlined by fringing reef and sandy beach; flanked by the warm lagoon waters on one side, and the oceanic depths (6000ft/2000m) of The Slot, a deep marine abyss, on the other. Uepi Island is approximately 2.5 km long and 300 metres wide, and the whole area, aside from the resort's cultivated tropical gardens, is covered with tropical rainforest interspersed with walking tracks. Uepi Resort is the only occupier of this remote island.

Films about nature and relaxing in nature are taking recently more of our focus We don't have to save nature and the oceans, we simply have to save or take care of ourselves as we are nature. With every natural and wild habitat we destroy, we kill a part of us. By understanding this and by understanding the fact, that nature and the oceans and the planet are the base of our physical being, we understand destroying and harming the planet, is harming our body and soul and threatens our surviving as a species.

Lost $11,000 in Video Gear & Almost My Life: My Solomon Islands Survival Story

Our adventure in the Solomon Islands was a wake-up call. We were one of the first big tour groups to visit since the pandemic and what we experienced was a shocker. During our trip, we encountered major safety challenges and even experienced a traumatic event. We were lucky to survive due to the lack of proper rescue infrastructure. Despite our meeting with the tourism office, their promises to address the situation have gone unfulfilled, and it's unacceptable. I also want to emphasize that GPS devices are unreliable in this region, further highlighting the urgent need for the local government to establish a dependable rescue system if the tourism industry wants to thrive. It's time for the industry to take action and ensure that tourists are protected. We deserve to have peace of mind when traveling, and it's time for our voices to be heard.

INSURE YOUR EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT! We highly recommend Professional Photographers of America:

Isopora Habitat, Mbigo Mbigo, Solomon Islands

The reef extends from a rocky cliff face, and depending on the daily condition there can be some swell as your approach the wall. We were intrigued but the encrusting Isopora corals covering the canyon walls near shore.

We recommend being an advanced swimmer or experienced snorkeler to venture into the shallower reefs. Less experienced snorkelers might find this area challenging because of waves and surge. However, don't let this discourage you. It was quite easy to stay in place as the waves tend to gently push you away from the cliff.
