Join Faith Ortins, VP of DUI, and world‐renowned photographer, Amos Nachoum on a truly remarkable expedition. The itinerary we designed is not only rare, but unique and daring befitting the 100th anniversary of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s heroic rescue of his crew from Antarctica in April 1916.

Come join DUI aboard the Solomon Star, where we will spend 10 full days of diving in the beautiful waters of the Solomon Islands. Situated to the south east of Papua New Guinea and only 3 hours by air from Australia, the Solomon Islands are one of the most peaceful and beautiful areas of the Pacific. Comprised of 992 islands, of which 147 are inhabited, the Solomon Islands has some of the most pristine dive sites in the world. Unspoiled because of the remote location, there are not many divers to put pressure on the reef and fish. You have caverns, wide-angle reefs, large sea fans, soft corals, impressive large pelagic such as sharks and mantas, and rare macro critters. The Solomon Islands promise to have something in store for every type of diver!

Diving day and night, in sandy, rocky or mixed sea beds, in caves or shipwrecks…the potential of the Azores is almost endless in terms of diving spots and types of diving.

On the other hand, diving an off-shore seamount or in blue water is a guaranteed adrenaline rush and requires an adventurous spirit.

Jacques Cousteau called the Sea of Cortez “the worlds aquarium.” John Steinbeck wrote "The Log of the Sea of Cortez" a journey through a remote and beautiful corner of the world, a diary filled with the daily excitements and triumphs of skillful and energetic men. It is also an invitation to see the world anew from a fresh vantage point and perhaps with a broader and more understanding spirit. Dolphins, sea lions, pilot whales, humpback whale, blue fin whales, orca and sperm whales. Flying mantas, blue and brown footed boobie birds, cormorants, frigate birds and the endemic yellow footed gulls.

California’s Channel Islands offers some of the best natural beauty the world has to offer.

Juvenile calico bass and small kelpfish are well-camouflaged between brown kelp stripes and tangled blades. Small groups of sardines, almost invisible against the blue sky above, dart inches beneath the surface where the canopy clears. Slight surge rocks the entire forest gently back and forth.
