Solomon Islands Between November 18 and November 28 1998 my wife and I made 45 dives in the Solomon Islands. Our diving took place around Guadalcanal, the Florida Islands, Morovo Lagoon in the Georgia Group and the Russell Islands. During this 10 day trip we travel aboard the Spirit of Solomons live-a-board. We dove on a variety of dive sites including WWII wrecks, remote atolls, submerged pinnacles and remote island reefs. Diving conditions were generally good with visibility and currents changing with the locations. Pilot whales, sperm whales, dolphins, as well a a variety of other strange and exotic marine creatures were encountered on a regular basic. One of the most enjoyable aspects of visiting and diving in the Solomons Islands was the opportunity to see the remote villages and people that live there. Many of these villages are untouched by western influence. The scenes of children and adults paddling their dugout canoes out to our dive boats on a regular basis to sell fresh fruits and vegetables will always be remembered. Enjoy.
