Nusa Roviana Wall - Gizo & Western Province
Nusa Roviana Wall offers a gentle introduction to Gizo's underwater world, a comfortable wall dive topping out at 27 metres. We find it’s a good spot to ease back into things after travel or for newer divers getting their fins wet in the Solomons. Keep an eye out for nudibranchs and small reef fish tucked into the coral, and the occasional turtle gliding past. It's a relaxed dive, usually with minimal current, letting you take your time exploring the nooks and crannies.
