8 days / 7 nights ex. Brisbane

Maravagi Resort
Located in the middle of the Solomon’s, The Florida Islands offer some of the best diving to be found any where in the Pacific. The Islands are about 35 km north of Honiara across the famous Iron Bottom Sound.

Some of the more popular dive sites in The Florida Islands include the wreck of the Aaron Ward: Only discovered in 1995, the only diveable Destroyer in the Solomon Islands. Mortally wounded by Japanese aircraft on April 7th 1943 she limped as far as Tinete point where she went down with 27 of her crew. This impressive wreck is sitting upright and intact on the sandy bottom. Possessing an extensive arsenal of 5-inch guns and torpedo tubes, this is one awesome dive. Experienced Divers only due to depth. Twin Tunnels: The tunnels are actually ancient lava tubes that start on top of a patch reef and drop vertically down to about 35m. The twin tunnels then join into one horizontal tunnel that exits on the reef wall at 40m. You are then greeted by a mass of fish that swarm around the reef including a lot of pelagic action. Sharks, dogtooth Tuna, Giant Trevally and Barracuda are common. A "must do it" dive!
