About this site
Coral Gardens sits off Mbulo Island in the Western Province of the Solomon Islands, a small island within the Marovo Lagoon area of Melanesia. Dive sites around this part of the Solomons are typically reached by boat from local island resorts. Divers here have reported a good range of reef fish over the coral, including bignose unicornfish, eyeline surgeonfish, humpback and twospot snapper, and several fusilier species such as neon, ruddy, scissor-tailed, and yellowtail fusilier, alongside swarthy and Pacific longnose parrotfish.
