White Beach
La profundidad indica el rango desde la parte superior del punto hasta su máximo habitual; la "certificación recomendada" es el nivel que los operadores suelen exigir según las principales agencias, no una norma legal. Las corrientes y la visibilidad cambian a diario — considera todo esto como rangos de planificación.
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.
El momento por el que vienes: WWII vehicles fusing into reef; frogfish and octopus in the machinery; shallow wreckage that suits every certification level.
Topografía: Sloping sand and rubble strewn with dumped WWII vehicles, pontoons, and equipment
Entrada: Russell Islands anchorage dive off a former US base site; calm entries over the slope.
Lo que debes saber antes de tirarte al agua
Riesgos: Sharp, unstable metal; silt pockets between vehicles; mind depth as the debris field descends.
Conservación: The wreckage sits on customary land and water — visits run through local arrangement, and souvenir-taking is both illegal and corrosive to that welcome.
