The story

Munda Dive Festival in Munda

Munda is a real hub for an annual Solomon Islands dive festival, promoted by Tourism Solomons and covered by diving trade press since at least 2016, spanning Gizo, Munda, and live-aboard dive vessels in Western Province to showcase WWII wreck sites and reef diving.

Solomon Islands' Western Province, centred on Gizo and Munda around New Georgia Island, sits in some of the most wreck-dense waters in the Pacific, a legacy of the sustained fighting between Japanese and Allied forces during the Solomon Islands campaign of the Second World War.
