The main wrecks are only minutes away from the wharf in front of the Lodge. Nitrox and limited mixed gas facilities are available for the technical and more experienced divers.

Some of the more popular dive sites in The Florida Islands.

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!
Depth range: 18m - 40m

Sandfly Passage: A beautiful coral garden studded with big red and yellow fans. Large diversity of coral and marine life here. The garden turns into a dramatic wall when reaching Tanavula point. Big Bump head parrots are common to see along with world-class corals. Depth range: 3m - 40m

Passage Rock: Dangerous navigation for passing ships this reef is a good spot for pelagic fish. A long vertical drop off, renowned for big Dog Tooth Tuna, Kingfish, and Sharks. The top of the reef is washed by strong currents at certain times and is covered by good soft corals as well as friendly Nurse Sharks. Depth range: 3m - 40m

Kovuhika Island: Starting with a small wall, this drift dive will bring you into the middle of a forest of giant red and yellow fans before ending on top of a colourful reef here Sharks, pelagic and large school of tusiliers are waiting for you. Depth range: 3m - 40m

Njanjelakalau Island: A dramatic drop, pelagic, shark, giant Clam, fans and a magnificent reef Ml in one place! There is a beautiful beach around the Island perfect for BBQ. Depth range: 3m - 50m

Mbeasiri Point: Magnificent colourful wall dive with a lot of action. Large schools of sardines, big Groupers, Bump head Parrots and pelagic’s are some of the attraction of this good spot. Depth range: 5m - 40m

Indumamu Reef: A reef washed by very strong current. Sharks are numerous here. Gray, silver and black tip can be found in large groups when conditions permit. Large schools of big eyes share the place with big Maori fish. Under each rock numerous Squirrel and Sweetlips can be found. Good diversity and concentration of life. Depth range: 15m - 40m

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. Depth range: 53m-72m

Kanawha: An absolutely huge American Oil tanker of 14500 tons. This ship was sunk in Tulagi harbour on the same day as the Aaron Ward, 7th April 1943. Sitting upright on a flat bottom the deck is at 40m and strewn with artefacts, debris and wreckage. Many interesting penetrations lead us into areas such as the engine room, kitchens, tool rooms and crew quarters. Depth range: 40m - 60m

The Moa: Also in Tulagi harbour rests the wreck of the only dive able New Zealand ship in the Solomon’s. The HMNZ Moa, a corvette that was influential in the sinking of the Japanese Sub at Cape Esperance. She's in good condition upright on a sandy bottom. Depth range: 35m - 45m
