Die Tiefe gibt den Bereich von der Oberkante des Tauchplatzes bis zur üblichen Maximaltiefe an; „empfohlene Zertifizierung" ist das von Anbietern üblicherweise geforderte Mainstream-Agenturniveau – keine gesetzliche Vorschrift.

When US forces packed up their Russell Islands base in 1945, surplus trucks, tractors, pontoons, and crates went off the wharf and down the slope, where they remain — axles and radiator shells dissolving into coral at every depth from snorkelable shallows to 30 m. The dive is half history walk, half critter hunt: guides know which gearbox hides a frogfish and which tire hosts the resident octopus, and glassfish swirl through cab windows. Corals grow brightest on the shallow wreckage, where late light makes the whole junkyard glow. It is the Solomons' quirky counterpoint to Vanuatu's better-known Million Dollar Point.
Der Moment, für den du kommst: WWII vehicles fusing into reef; frogfish and octopus in the machinery; shallow wreckage that suits every certification level.
Topografie: Sloping sand and rubble strewn with dumped WWII vehicles, pontoons, and equipment
Einstieg: Russell Islands anchorage dive off a former US base site; calm entries over the slope.
Was du wissen solltest, bevor du ins Wasser gehst
Gefahren: Sharp, unstable metal; silt pockets between vehicles; mind depth as the debris field descends.
Naturschutz: The wreckage sits on customary land and water — visits run through local arrangement, and souvenir-taking is both illegal and corrosive to that welcome.
