Solomon Sea Gardens

Tufi · Papua New Guinea

Solomon Sea Gardens is a series of coral pinnacles rising from a sandy floor inside one of Tufi's protected fjords, their sheltered position producing calm conditions and extraordinary hard coral coverage in a rainbow of Acropora, Porites, and Diploastrea formations stretching further than a single dive allows exploration. The crystal-clear fjord water and shallow maximum depth make this Tufi's best site for underwater photography of reef architecture at its most undisturbed.
