About this site
Tucked in the Solomon Sea, this site features a massive anchor resting on a vibrant reef slope. Schools of barracuda and trevally patrol the blue, while colorful soft corals and sponges cover the structure. The anchor itself is encrusted with marine life, attracting curious reef fish. Visibility is typically excellent, with gentle currents ideal for drift diving. The surrounding reef teems with critters like nudibranchs and shrimp, making it a macro lover’s paradise. Depths range from 10 to 30 meters, suitable for all experience levels. Warm waters and minimal surge create comfortable diving year-round.
