The walls, reefs, pinnacles and coral gardens of Solomon Islands support
an amazing variety and quantity of sea creatures. The varieties of fish
are staggering. Within a few yards of each other, individually or in schools
can be seen anemone fish, angel fish, butterfly fish, humphead parrot
fish and other reef dwellers while just a short distance away schools
of barracuda, big-eye trevally and other pelagics cruise in the blue waters.
Popular with underwater photographers and those with a keen eye for the
small and unusual critters are "muck dives". The amount and
variety of sealife is astounding. Manta shrimp, ghost pipefish, and pygmy
seahorses are only a few examples of what you may find. For some vivid
imagery of what you might expect to see be sure to visit our Photo
Gallery and Video
galleryand view photos and videos submitted by divers like yourselves,
