Diving takes place either from the mothership directly, or from one of the two tenders depending on the situation and conditions of each site. The spacious dive deck has toilets, hot freshwater showers & rinse bins for equipment and camera gear and ample storage space.

Nitrox is available at an extra charge, as are, 15L aluminium tanks. Wetsuits are not available for rent – but are rarely required – the water is so warm. There is also support to rebreathers and the vessel has full technical diving capabilities

Solomon Diving Itineraries

The Solomons Master offers both 7 and 10-night itineraries which encompass some of the best diving in Solomon Islands. Indeed one of the itineraries entitled The Best of the Solomons is just that: decorative walls and deep caverns, colourful coral gardens, sea fans, all combined with an amazing variety of marine life.

Wreck fans will get a thrill out of the special wreck itinerary. A significant number of Japanese and Allied Forces’ ships and planes are scattered all around the Solomon Islands. Encrusted in corals and surrounded by a plethora of marine life, these wrecks are silent witnesses of some of the fiercest battles that took place in WWII. Many of the dive sites in these itineraries have rarely or never been dived before. Discover the unrevealed dive treasures of this itinerary with Master Liveaboards on board the Solomons Master.

Solomons PNG Master liveaboard (formerly the MV Taka) offers 7 & 10 night excursions in the Solomon Islands including the Russell & Florida Islands; and in PNG, 3 different 10 night trips: New Britain (South & North) and New Hanover.

Here's what our clients say about us!

  • I've been using these guys since 2008, and every single trip has been awesome. Only thing I need to worry is to get to airport in time. They have wide experience of dive destinations and there's always an option to pick. Strong recommendation!

    Janne M

  • The team at Diveplanit were tremendous help for my recent trip to Palau. The trip was a bit last minute, and bookings were filling up, so I appreciated Claire’s patience and first-hand knowledge as we tried to find the right combination of dates, flights and operators. Unsurprisingly, the trip was spectacular and ticked off multiple bucket list experiences.

    Steph R

  • I'm here to tell you that Deb from Diveplanit had my diving tour absolutely nailed in every single detail. An experience of a lifetime that will take a lot to top. Thank you so much for looking after us at every step of the way Deb. Significantly above and beyond <3

    George F

  • I have been using Diveplanit for several years now and just recently on a liveaboard trip to Komodo where there was a change of port arrival and Claire helped with the air travel changes and all went smoothly. Superb trip and organisation. Highly recommend.

    Christine L

  • Michelle is a legend. I didn't know how difficult it could be to organise travel and diving in Vanuatu! Having been there, I can only wonder at the organisation and care that went into making my trip special. There was even a cancelled flight that meant a rearrangement of activities on a couple of days. But it all went seamlessly. I would highly recommend Diveplanit.

    Robert E

  • I'd like to thank the crew from Diveplanit, great communication and organisation. The Ocean Divers in Oakleigh, so welcoming and helpful. The Odyssey boat crew, catering and dive group, best holiday / adventure ever.

    Darrell F

    Dagmar P

  • Michelle from Diveplanet was so helpful. So brilliant in getting back to me and making sure my trip ran smoothly and I did get the best bungalow at Fatboys thanks to her. I wouldn’t have known what to book. She did it all perfectly.

    Jill N

  • The whole trip was flawless and went by without any issues. Thank you so much Claire for your work, your attention to what we wanted and catering to our every request. This was the dive holiday of a lifetime, made even more memorable because of the perfection In organising every detail for us.

    Steven A

  • Everything went like clockwork - and Uepi exceeded expectations on all levels.

    Carolyn M

  • Michelle was fantastic in helping with my recent PNG excursion. I got straightforward and detailed advice, and nothing was too much trouble. I had some package tweaks after committing to the initial trip, but the changes were no problem. There's no question whom I'll contact for my next South Pacific itinerary.

    Jessica B

  • Had a fabulous trip diving at Ningaloo, all organised from the other side of the world by Claire at Diveplanit. When the airline cancelled my flights and I would’ve been stranded, she rescheduled them for me on a Sunday! That’s 7-star rating! 🙏 🥰

    Sarah C

  • If you’re a diver and don’t quite know where to go on your next trip, you absolutely have to book through Deb and the team. The most reliable advice about the best (and most secret) dive spots around the world, super responsive and trustworthy people who want you to have the best time possible. Couldn’t speak highly enough of the service I’ve received!

  • Diveplanit provides outstanding advice and service for travelling divers. When booking a dive trip to Okinawa, Deb knew exactly what to do, where to go and how to put it together. Since then my (dive buddy) son and I have used Diveplanit four times. Highly, highly recommend.

    Jaala P

  • Had a great trip to the far north barrier reef with Mike Ball Expeditions arranged through Diveplanit. Diveplanit were great and everything went without a hitch. Diving was great and Mike Balls team were fantastic. Highly recommend.

    Barry L

  • Deb was wonderful and helpful in organising the full packaged trip to Puerto Galera for 8 days of scuba diving. Everything worked out well that was within our control. An amazing time at Altantis resort Sabang, great weather and conditions. Truly trouble free and worry free holiday. Thank you Deb!
