This will be REEF's second Field Survey to the the Solomon Islands, which comprise one of the most intact and biologically rich oceanic archipelagos on Earth. In fact, the region was identified as a “Bright Spot” in a recent study published in the scientific journal, Nature. The Solomon Islands were designated as a location where coral reefs are flourishing against the odds despite environmental pressure. This land-based trip to Uepi Island Resort will feature plenty of opportunities for diving Marovo Lagoon, the longest saltwater lagoon in the world.
Smaller and less developed than Grand Cayman, the sister islands of Cayman Brac and Little Cayman are the perfect spots to do plenty of diving. The first five days will be spent diving at Cayman Brac Beach Resort, followed by another five days diving Little Cayman's famous walls and reefs. Both resorts are well known for providing a high level of service.
