Diving at Munda

Over the years we have dived all around the Roviana Lagoon and beyond. With or without diving guests we still enjoy finding new places, treasures & relics. The Cave of the Custom Shark at Ndoke Ndoke is one of the best, together with Tombatuni past Sassavele and the Kasi Maru a sunken Jap freighter around past Noro at Mbairoko. The wall dives are massive & majestic, you need to count your depth down as there is no bottom. You can dive in 3 metres or 30+ metres with still plenty to see and the rest stops are picturesque.
...Enjoy !

Our Dive Munda

Back in 2001 a few of us got together in Brisbane and decided to start up a Dive Shop at Munda, well that's what cemented my relationship with Munda. Several hundred dives later and through the good & the bad, well it was all good fun, and thousands of stories. Still is one the best diving regions in the South Pacific.

This is my spot - after a hard day at the office !

Did I mention the Seafood !!

We love our seafood and the fishing. Just to upset you more we pay around {AUD} $4.00/kg for reef fish, $12.00/kg for Lobster & Mud Crab and about $5.00 for a bag of 30 bloody big oysters.
Yum ! All great with a cold SolBrew on the verandah in the afternoons.

Yeah, Good one Noel,,tough catch that one!

Our Island Home

During 2003 we built our house on Hombupeka, designed by us to take advantage of the beautiful views out across the Roviana Lagoon and back over to Lambete & Sesieta, yet protected a bit from the West wind that can come in from the Munda bar. We used all local timbers - Kwila, Vasa, White Beech,, it was a challenge, but worth the effort.

Our family's Island of Hombupeka lies about an hours flight into the Western Province from Honiara.

To start with

Hi,
We have been involved in the Solomon Islands now for nearly 15 years or so,
From the early days of volunteer work at Helena Goldie Hospital at Munda, through to our partnership with the original 'Dive Munda' business of 2001-2005.
Our Family home lies on the island of Hombupeka just out from Munda.
We presently reside back in Oz and try our hardest to get back 'home' a couple of times each year.
From here I will keep updates with our photo's and news for you.
