July 3-13, 2024

We have just finished another special 10 day trip around the amazing Solomon Islands. Our guests came from the USA, Australia, Hong Kong and Switzerland to form quite a diverse group of people. After some hiccups with the arrivals we all ended up spending a great time above and below the waves while visiting the beautiful sites of the Solomons.  

At Mary Island our guests were impressed by the number of chevron barracudas, together with a massive school of jacks and a cloud of rainbow runners. The diversity of different angel fish, including the elusive flame angel was highly appreciated by our guests too. Once again, the Kavachi underwater volcano provided the perfect soundtrack to our two amazing dives at Kicha Island in Marovo Lagoon, where the jacks, snappers, barracudas and batfish were too numerous to count. They were joined by a few grey reef sharks, which came for a closer look - always such a stunning dive!

In Marovo Lagoon we also visited the wood carvers and many souvenirs changed hands, while our visit to Karumolun in the Russell Islands left our guests impressed by the beautiful performance of cultural dancing, singing and of course the incredible panpipe music! What a treat!

We would like to thank all our guests for coming and diving with us, it was nice to meet you all. And last, but not least, our heartfelt thanks to our incredible crew for their continuous hard work!

Tagio tumas - until the next time
