Wow. Thank you for the information about Lisa's place. Looks like a great alternative. But is her operation still in business? There is not too much information on the website.

I'm looking for our next dive destination and i'm also very interested in the Solomon Islands... Don't want to hijack your thread but would appreciate more information on the underwater sights. I'm not too much into wrecks and if it's not packed with big stuff as countless sharks, huge schools of fish etc. i'm bored after a few dives.. Is there some macro life on the dive sites?
I try to decide if PNG or the Solomon islands are the better choice for me.. Have been in Fiji recently and was not overwhelmed with the biodiversity there.. My favourite place is still R4 where you can find everything..
Ideas and thoughts are much appreciated. And i'm looking forward to your trip report from August!
Thought I'd finish off this thread by saying I'm back from the Solomons and had a great trip. In the end, I opted to do a second liveaboard, so a 7 day trip followed by a 10 day trip aboard Taka. Travelling around the Solomons appeared too much hassle and expense versus the convenience of a liveaboard. I also much prefer liveaboard diving.
The diving itself was very good. I don't think I've seen healthier hard corals anywhere else and fish life was diverse. Having said that, apart from a chance dive with a saltwater crocodile (amazing!), I was disappointed at the lack of large animal encounters.
