Scattered across the turquoise waters of the Solomon Sea, the idyllic Nggela Islands, also known as the Florida Islands, form a picturesque archipelago north of Guadalcanal. Historically significant for their proximity to the Battle of Guadalcanal during World War II, these islands now attract adventurers and nature enthusiasts. Following the war, Honiara on Guadalcanal became the capital of the Solomon Islands. The Florida Islands boast numerous remarkable dive sites, notably Twin Tunnels, named for two imposing vertical lava tubes on a seamount. Divers can explore these tunnels, adorned with vibrant fans and corals, encountering pygmy seahorses, hairy squat lobsters, cuttlefish, and even nurse sharks. The crystal-clear waters reveal a diverse marine ecosystem, offering glimpses of octopuses and eels.
