From Darren, a Dive Fish Snow Travel Customer

It’s always been an ambition to do an overseas dive trip and enjoy the warm water, viz, colourful fish life with some wrecks thrown in. After talking to some friends who have done quite a few over the years we settled on the Solomons.

We started doing the Google / internet thing to organise it but that got too hard so we found ourselves talking to Dive Fish and Snow – a travel agency specialising in as the name would suggest – Dive, Fishing or Snow holidays. Turns out that one of their staff had just returned from the Solomons so was full of up to date info. (They don’t send punters anywhere they haven’t been).

Anyhow my wife and I together with our 15 yo eldest son armed ourselves with dive gear and a newly purchased underwater digital camera (I’ve never taken a photo underwater so don’t be too hard) and away we went.

Leaving Auckland for Brisbane then a flight to Honiara, then on to a commuter “milk run” flight landing at Sege then Munda and finally Gizo. We were met at the “terminal” by a staff member from Fatboys where we were staying.

Then into the “taxi” for the transfer.

Home for the next four nights
