Tubbataha, a UNESCO World Heritage site, offers exhilarating wall & drift diving, wrecks and a good chance to spot hammerhead sharks, mantas, and whale sharks, plus some of the world’s best coral gardens. Also, gigantic fan corals flourish in Tubbataha waters.

The Solomons comprise 992 islands, less than 50% of which are inhabited. Situated within the Coral Triangle to the northeast of Australia and southeast of Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands are one of the last frontiers; untouched, peaceful and beautiful. Due to its remote location, the country offers some of the most pristine dive sites in the world, filled with innumerable unspoiled hard and soft corals. Join one of Master Liveaboards Solomons itineraries and indulge yourself in true picture postcard scuba diving.
Solomon Islands are THE destination for the scuba diving enthusiasts looking for a change of scenery, completely off the beaten track.
The biodiversity in Solomon Islands is hard to beat and rivals any other Indo-Pacific dive travel destination for coral reefs and marine life but without the tourist numbers. You will find wrecks, caverns, drop offs, wide-angle reefs and large sea fans and have an opportunity to experience the traditional culture of the islanders.
For those divers who like their creatures on the large side there are various types of shark and rays cruising amid the spectacular scenery of jaw dropping reefs, walls and pinnacles. For macro lovers, a plethora of critters can be found including pygmy seahorses, colourful nudibranchs, electric clams, ghost pipefish and many more. There is something for everyone in the Solomons.
Past Trips
Galapagos Islands - 2024
07 - 14 October 2024 aboard Galapagos Master - SOLD OUT!
The Galapagos Islands are on just about every single diver’s bucket list due to their isolation, incredible biodiversity, and magnificent flora and fauna. Not to mention, the Galapagos are where Darwin first hypothesized his world-changing Theory of Evolution.
The Galapagos Islands are located 600 miles (1000 km) west of Ecuador, are spread out over 17,000 square miles, and would require many trips to visit all the incredible dive sites available. There are 17 main islands that make up the archipelago. The water temperatures range from a chilly 55 F (12 C) in the south, to highs reaching 79 F (26 C) in the north. There are two main seasons for scuba diving in the Galapagos, with the year split into two—whale shark season and manta ray season.
Chuuk (Truk) Lagoon & Palau Nov 2023
.
Referred to as the Superbowl of wreck diving, Chuuk, in the Federated States of Micronesia was the site of an epic WWII naval battle known as Operation Hailstone/Hailstorm. Dozens of large ships, including a destroyer and a submarine rest on the hilly bottom of a lagoon protected by fringing reef. Many are well within recreational depths and others are challenging technical dives – there is a lot for everyone regardless of their skill and training level. The largest ship is 500 feet long and is so covered with beautiful coral and schools of fish that it looks like reef wall until one approaches more closely. Hundreds of aircraft were shot down in the battle, too. The photo is of a Betty bomber like Admiral Yamamoto, the architect of Pearl Harbor, was shot down and killed in. Everywhere one looks is rich with wartime history, from personal effects to personal remains to large vehicles and aircraft like bulldozers and Zero fighters in cargo holds. One could dive here many times throughout their lifetime and still not see everything. The fascinating connection that wrecks have with humanity makes this destination outstanding among world dive destinations, plus it has the fish and coral, too. We like the MV Odyssey and have enjoyed three trips aboard her. The Republic of Palau is is the favorite of many seasoned divers. In contrast to the wrecks within Truk Lagoon, Palau is the iconic South Pacific tropical paradise. It is truly beautiful above and below the surface. Many would recognize an aerial photo of it (Google Palau Rock Islands) and Palau is also home to some of the most famous dive sites in the world like Blue Corner and German Channel.
