Unparalleled Space and Comfort in a Diving Paradise

for her fantastic crew.

Dive Sites
The Bilikiki offers cruises starting from the nation's capital,
Honiara. The shorter cruises (7 and 8 nights) explore the
reefs and shores around the Florida Islands and Russel Islands.
Longer cruises (10-14 nights) venture even further towards
the Western Province as far as the Marovo Lagoon.
The Solomon Islands are a newly discovered Mecca for scuba
divers. The enormous variety and numbers of marine species,
along with sunken WW II ships and aircraft, have made this
region one of the world's top dive locations. Some of the
sites can be dived from the shore, while many others are
reached from well-appointed live-aboard vessels operating
in the islands.
The 28° to 30°C (82° to 85°F) water temperatures,
along with stable weather patterns contribute to excellent
diving all year round.
Diving in The Solomon Islands is spectacular. Brilliant
soft and hard corals, huge sea fans and a world of pelagics
as well as many unidentified species of reef fish make diving
in The Solomons an adventure you won't forget. Add to this
the thrill of W.W.II wreck diving and you have the perfect
diving holiday for everyone.

Special
Interests: The shipwrecks in the Solomon Islands have
mostly grown into perfect artificial reefscapes with an
eerie touch of the violent history over 50 years ago. Of
course, if you are into sunken relics, there are a lot of
interesting things down there to look at (books, bottles,
ammunition, toilet seats and bikes, etc.). Don't take anything
away as these wrecks are historical monuments and protected
by the law. Surface intervals between dives are often used
to visit the close by island villages. The hospitality on
these islands and the colourful display of their culture
is always worth a visit.
