Comments I have a two great long weekend (3 night) trips on Solomon Star while i have been away doing contract work in the Solomon Islands. The best feature is the diving is clear the water and an abundance of life...

The best feature of the liveabord is the amazing dive deck and the easy access in and out of the water. The food on the whole is great but could use some more variety at times...Dive crew are awesome and go out of there way to make sure you get the best dives possible...The rooms are good on the whole, clean tidy and well air-conditioned...
The saloon area features a good round table to converse with other divers...Fun boat without being flash...(Have heard they may have a new one on the way)

Overall great product with good diving , good crew and good food...
