Mirror Pond, Russell Islands The Solomon Islands is best known for its many World War 2 wrecks of everything from planes to submarines and ships. Many lie at the unfathomable depths of Iron Bottom Sound (named for the amount of metal down there), while many more are scattered around the fringing reefs and shallow lagoons, all of which provide exceptional, and easy diving.

Mirror Pond, however, is not a wreck site. It is a sub-aquatic passage that ends in a chamber where you can surface in an ocean-water pool surrounded by over-hanging jungle.
