Gizo is also renowned for having some of the most diverse and exciting diving to be found anywhere on the planet.
From sunken wrecks to numerous offshore reefs, spectacular coral formations, plummeting walls, manta rays and abundant marine life, SCUBA enthusiasts are beyond spoilt for choice and divers can choose from a plethora of amazing locations.
‘Grand Central Station’ boasts the highest fish count in the world with more than 275 species, ‘Joe’s Wall’ offers a spectacular 60-metre wall dive, and Plum Pudding Island, now known as Kennedy Island after former US President John F. Kennedy, offers shallow coral reefs for novice divers, and a drift dive, ideal for Open Water Diver training for those looking to achieve full dive certification.
WWII wreck enthusiasts are more than catered for with a 440-foot Japanese freighter, the Toa Maru and US Corsair fighter aircraft and almost fully-intact US Hellcat fighter aircraft lying in very shallow waters a short boat ride away.
