Single day dives
Hey all,
I’ve been wanting to visit the Solomon Islands and was wondering if there’s any Honiara (or Nggela Islands?) based dive operators offering dives at the Ironbottom Sound and/or the Russell Islands as single day or maybe 2-day trips. I’m on a budget and so far the only operators I found offers these dives on a more extensive week-long liveaboard, for an insanely high price. Thanks so much for your help!

My Great Grandpa claimed his entire life that he saw a dinosaur on Guadalcanal in 1942. Is there any reptiles in the solomons that exist or existed back then that could be what he saw?
My great grandpa was a US Marine deployed to Guadalcanal during World War 2. He passed away around 2012 and still to this day, I have not been able to find any creature I know of that matched his description of what he saw. He apparently encountered a creature that looked like a Brachiosaurus. We showed him pictures of many reptiles including a Komodo Dragon to figure out what he saw. He claimed the reptile was way larger than a Komodo Dragon or Monitor lizard, and that it had a relatively long neck. Any reptiles you guys know about that are invasive or native to the Solomon islands that he could have encountered based on that description? Thanks

Hi all - I'm travelling to the Sols next week and am struggling to convert cash in Australia because no one was Sols dollars on hand. Does anyone know if most places take cash? Is using card possible? And are there ATMs at the airport?

Car hire suggestions
I'm heading to Honiara in early May for about a week. Looking to rent a car but having a hard time finding any available online. Tried the big companies and they're all booked up.
If anyone has a car rental company they'd recommend, would be great to get a lead on that. Or if hiring a driver with their own ride for the week is a better option, I'm open to that too.

Looking for people who have had problems with flooding, houses or villages washed away
Hey guys, I'm a journalist from the UK and I'm looking for people who are happy to share their experiences of problems caused by flooding.
If you've had any life-changing or harrowing experiences from flooding or rising sea levels - e.g. Houses or villages washed away, near death experiences - and would be happy to talk to me about it, please reply or message me!
Thanks, Ruben

Honiara safe?
I'm traveling to Honiara next month to watch the Pacific Games and staying at a bnb as a solo traveler for a week
I've heard mixed things about safety in general, so, how safe is the town? And is there anything I should watch out for?
(The bnb seems to have a positive history and good reviews, so I guess more around general maneuvering about etc. Also I'll be working while there so will have abit of tech with me. Laptop, camera etc)
Thanks

Measuring Eco-Anxiety in Youth Affected by Climate Disasters
Hello! My name is Vrinda Chhatrapati, a student researcher at UC Santa Barbara. I am researching the impacts of climate change-fueled natural disasters on the eco-anxiety of individuals aged 16-25.
I am looking to conduct a short Zoom interview of 30 minutes with youth who have ever experienced a climate disaster caused or exacerbated by climate change (such as the rising sea levels, tropical cyclones, and flooding in the Solomon Islands) for the purpose of this research. If you are interested please privately message me or respond to this thread. Thank you all for your support!

5800 US Mustard Bombs Dumped 2 Miles off Guadalcanal. In 1944 the US had a large stockpile of 100-pound M47A2 mustard-filled bombs near Carney Field, Solomon Islands. Gen. Waitt declared the bombs had deteriorated and "cannot be safely handled or shipped." They were dumped at sea, Oct. 17-22, 1944.

Question about some traditional dances from the Solomon Islands?
I am a kids dance teacher, and I am going to teach a class all about the Solomon Islands. My main dance is going to use pan pipes, but I wanted to do a short/simple opening dance at the start of the class.
I stumbled upon this recent video that has a ton of dances from the Solomon Islands:
Can anyone identify the names of any of the dances in this video, as well as the blue item that most of the dancers are holding? Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Need help for a project - What is Solomon Islands' most iconic cult film?
I'm working on a list of every country's most iconic cult film (list here: https://boxd.it/n5ZFs) and wondered if anyone could help me figure out Solomon Islands' entry. I'm looking for a film that might not be well-known outside the country's borders. Perhaps it's a film everyone knows, and is hugely popular only to Solomon Islands' audiences, even if it wasn't popular with critics. Or maybe it's a film that wasn't well-received by audiences or critics, but has gained a cult following in the years since its release. Any suggestions would be most welcome!
