Emperor Divers to open new dive centre in Munda, Solomon Is

Emperor Divers is expanding its presence in Solomon Islands with the opening of a new dive centre based in Munda. The new operation, established in collaboration with Zipolo Habu Resort on Lola Island, is expected to welcome its first divers later this year and will serve Munda, Vonavona Lagoon, Rendova, and surrounding regions in Western Province. Emperor Divers already runs a world renowned liveaboard, Emperor Bilikiki in Solomon Islands and has a thriving day diving centre in Honiara. The new centre will combine Emperor Divers' high-quality standards of service and operation with the extensive local knowledge of Bilikiki,

which has been operating in the country since 1988, and further strengthens its commitment to diving and tourism in Solomon Islands. The centre will be a full-service operation including compressors, cylinders, rental equipment and dive boats. Guests will also be able to arrange collections from their accommodation throughout the wider area including Noro, Munda, Rendova, or anywhere in-between, making the centre accessible to visitors staying across the region. Munda hosts the country's second international airport and provides an international gateway to Western Province with direct flights from

Brisbane operating every Friday. Further details about the new dive centre, diving packages and its official opening will be announced soon.
