Comments	We spent 10 days aboard the Bilikiki dive boat from Honaira, Solomon Islands. The boat offered 5 dives a day, on most days, including night dives nearly every night. The diving was a good mixture of larger and smaller subjects, including large schools of fish at many of the sites. There were some sharks on some of the dives, mostly Grey Reef, Silver Tips and Whitetip Reef Sharks. We saw a few Mobula Rays and Spotted Eagle Rays, and even one Manta. The reefs were quite beautiful, with a good mixture of hard and soft corals. We did some dives on historic wreckage and leftover military equipment from WWII. There was a sunken Japanese Sea Plane and some US equipment that was scuttled after the war was over. The dive conditions were excellent, with visibility reaching 100 ft on many days. There were a few dives around the lagoons that had less than perfect visibility. ... Subscribe to get the full story. Active subscribers continue reading here
