Diving in the Solomon Islands

992 tropical islands scatter in a slight curve over 1800 kilometers in the South Pacific to make up the Solomon Islands archipelago. Sitting between Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu, this island nation is made up of 550,000 Melanesians but includes other smaller cultural groups. The Solomon Islanders have a deep history and still closely follow many of their exotic customs and traditions.

The Solomon Islands are a unique archipelago made up of hundreds of islands sitting amidst the South Pacific’s warm, clear waters.
