Plongée à Solomon Islands — Solomon Islands
The Solomon Islands' Iron Bottom Sound earned its name from the dozens of WWII ships and planes that litter the seabed — many now spectacular dive sites covered in coral. Beyond the wrecks, the reefs are pristine and virtually undived. This is one of the Pacific's last true frontier dive destinations.
