Nice shore dives, easy to access but be prepared to have to pay the dude at the front gate, for whatever reason he feels he needs to be paid. Beware of theft in the car park area, has been a significant recent problem More

Bonegi is popular as a beach for people living in Honiara as it is the closest accessible beach. I found it a little disappointing as a beach, having a pebble surface. It is on local land, and there have been issues with expats wearing very brief bathers. If you go there, please take a sarong to cover your legs at... More

Two great dives so close to shore. Bonegi II is also great to snorkel. Bonegi III further up the road is also a great dive but doesn't get much of a mention. More

I have dived Bonegi I almost 50 times and Bonegi II almost 30 times over the past three years. They are excellent dives, very easy to swim to from the shore. Bonegi I is slightly difficult to get to the wreck as there is a large coral garden in front that you will need to swim either slightly to the... More

These dives should not be missed, even just for a snorkel. B1 runs from 5m to almost 50m. B2 bottoms out around 25. These wrecks of Japanese war ships are covered in coral and terrific sea life. Kastom fee to the land owners is currently SBD$25 which is great value. Facilities are basic but slowly improving. Theft problems have not... More

Bonegi Beach is popular, and it's two wrecks known as Bonegi I & II are well known. The wrecks are home to a wide variery of fish, hard & soft corals and large sponges. At Bonegi I, along the right side (as you enter) of the wreck, in about 7-10m there are often abundant cone shells across the bottom. They... More
