Munda – the jewel in the Solomon Islands dive crown
DESTINATION- Solomon Islands
A mecca for international SCUBA enthusiasts looking to experience a pristine, world-class dive environment, it doesn’t get much better than Munda in the Solomon Islands’ Western Province. Located in Vona Vona Lagoon, Munda is just minutes away from some 40 dive sites, offering the best of everything in this region’s unspoiled underwater world – from swim-through caves and submerged WWII planes and boats to glorious technicolour coral reefs.
Munda is also known for its spectacular walls dropping off to over 600 metres and the Grey, Blacktip and Whitetip Reef sharks that patrol these waters – as do Hammerheads. Eagle rays, Dogtooth Tuna, Barracuda and many other pelagics are also common. Here the water flow and currents also create the perfect conditions for Barracuda and Jacks feeding frenzies.
