Munda diving
Underwater video from several dive sites around Munda, in the Western Province of Solomon Islands. Along with beautiful coral gardens and walls we saw incredible wildlife including eagle rays, barracudas, bumphead parrot fish, reef sharks (one hammerhead too but I couldn't get it on film), tunas, and more.
Must Visit Sites - Solomon Islands
The Solomon Islands have slowly begun to pick up in the tourist market. From beach excursions and historical artifacts to underwater marvels, here’s a few things one can come across on these South Pacific islands.

8. Honiara Central Market
The Solomon Islands are also known for their colorful markets, one of the major ones being The Honiara Central Market. The central market sells all the things you would expect out of a market situated in a city by the shore: there’s an abundance of fruits and vegetables, fish, flowers, arts and crafts made by locals, and clothing items. It was established during the 1950s and is a thriving environment to this day. And it’s a perfect place for visitors since it also sells some of the cheapest food in the area. Lots of the locals from the different regions gather here to sell their wares, which makes for a very diverse collection of things to find here.
7. Mushroom Islands
The appropriately named Mushroom Island is apparently another great diving spot located at the Solomon Islands. The island is known locally as Tomba Tuni, though referred to as Mushroom Island for its unique shape. It’s also the location of an interesting wall dive which there’s supposed lots of interesting life forms to see along the submerged wall where there’s lots of fish, a lack of sharks, and beautiful coral for you to check out with your underwater goggles.
6. Shark Point
A few places in the world have their own Shark Point. At the Solomon Islands, the name shouldn’t scare you too much as there’s a huge variety of marine wildlife to marvel at located in this popular diving site. Shark Point can be found in Munda in the Western Province. Schools and schools of fish make the area their home and is also home to lots of branching coral, whip coral, and bushy coral near Munda Bar. At its depth, it reached 27 meters.
5. Tetepare Island
Ecotourists gather onto Tetepare Island since it’s the site of a huge rainforest that’s been carefully conserved. On the island you’ll find eco-friendly lodgings that feature solar power energy. What’s interesting is that it’s an uninhabited island for the most part, which in turn helps the wildlife here stay undisturbed. It is the largest uninhabited island in the South Pacific and measures at 118 square kilometers or 46 square miles in area. New species are being discovered here all the time and birdwatching is a popular activity for visitors since there are 230 species of birds to be found here.
4. Leru Cut
Leru Cut is one of the most famous if not the most famous diving site located in the waters of the Solomon Islands--and the place is rife with diving spots. This deep passage is between two pieces of submerged land that’s wide enough for scuba divers to swim into, though there’s not much room for lots of people to be down there at once. As far as wildlife goes, there’s not a lot to be found here within the cut, but then again that isn’t the point. The point is swimming between this extremely narrow passage that during the day, sunlight seeps through.
3. Mt. Rano
We’ve talked loads about diving and going deep in the sea. But what about the heights? A popular walking track is found at Mount Rano, which is situated on Kolombangara Island. One of the famous features of this mountain is the scenic mists that surround the higher parts of the region and it’s really like you’re on top of the clouds. In addition to the amazing views, there’s of course lots of wildlife to be found on the mountain, that have been described by hikers as a peaceful kind of wilderness.
2. World Discoverer
The MS World Discoverer is a huge abandoned cruise ship that’s been floating in the waters of the Solomon Islands since the year 2000. It was once a sea vessel that traveled the world but then came into contact with a reef which would put the World Discoverer out of commission. Everybody who was on board was safely evacuated, so the history behind its sinking isn’t a dark one. For years now, it’s just been left to slowly fade away into the waters and its presence is that of a more strange and random reputation if anything.
Skull Island
Now we get to something that’s actually a little more eerie. Skull island is certainly a title that sounds fictional, but it’s a real place in the Solomon Islands. Though a small island, for the few who visit it, it’s been described as a neat place to check out, even if you would think there’d be scarier stories than that. This island in New Georgia is named Skull Island since it houses the remains of prominent chiefs in their history within shrines. Tourists are allowed to visit the island and you must be accompanied by a Chief who’s there to guide you along the sacred land.

The Cave of the Custom Shark - Part 3
Munda, Solomon Islands
Part 1 -
Part 2 -
To reach The Cave of the Custom Shark we had to walk through mangroves. The cave entrance is a pool of fresh water about 2 meters wide. The top layer of fresh water is somewhat murky and about 3 meters deep. After penetrating the cave for about 12 minutes and reaching a maximum depth of 35 meters, we reached the outer wall of the island.
This is a short clip of the dive.
According to Munda Dive, As the story goes, a long time ago there was a young man from Saekile Village hunting turtles. He spotted a couple of turtles and dove into the water, attempting to make a catch. The turtle he was holding dove deep and took him to the entrance of the cave. There a large shark attacked the turtle and the man released the floundering turtle and soon grabbed onto the shark. The shark then took him through the cave and eventually up to the entrance on the island. The young man's friends thought he was dead. Greatly saddened, they returned to the village with the news of their friend's untimely death. For ten days this young man lived on the island before he was discovered by his tribe. He relayed his unlikely tale and the villagers immediately returned to the cave to find the shark. They believed the shark to be the spirit of their ancestors. From that time on, the shark would take them on rides through the cave and they would feed the shark in return.
