WW11 war wrecks, Japanese transport ship which is like a building underwater with a 2 man tank which it was transporting beside it, cooking equipment, bowls and the glorious coral now covering the outside of the vessel. Some of the most spectacular wall dives ever with infinity viso!! Fish life abound with August the month for anything that is huge to be there - bronze whalers, giant cod, marlin! Drift dives that are mind blowing. Islands and coral dives to suit any kind of weather, though we had perfect weather.

Locals are friendly, a number of shops that are different and quaint to check out during lunch quiet time. BBQ on deserted islands where you snorkel while lunch is prepared for you. Fishing is still a bit primative when we were there (90's) but the fish abound-coral, sailfish!

This place has ruined me for diving anywhere else- what could compare to it??

Fly into Honiara and get a direct flight to Gizo on a small light air craft. Allow for a few days in Honiara if you are into history and see many places and wreckage of WW11. Diving is from the beaches in Honiara, from submarines to B52 if you are not into history you will be by the time you leave.

You have to prepare before leaving, for marlaria but it is a lovely place and the people are friendly.

Honiara is a city and is not like Gizo which is a country kind of place.
