Solomon Reef

Solomon� a volcanic formation with it's large granite type reef just a few feet off-shore where you can snorkel and or scuba dive. The site is named after a judge in the 40's who was killed from a landslide while traveling along the coastal road from Point Michelle to Loubiere. He apparently was not very popular with some of the locals who rejoiced by making up a folk song which is still sung today. The area is made up of '�tarish'� (compressed ash and debris) from a pyroclastic eruption of the nearby dormant volcano. Solomon tarish has always been mined for building material and is still used today. This site is a fantastic dive/snorkel site starting at a depth of 3 feet and dropping down to 80 feet. It has been described on good days as snorkeling in an aquarium. Expect to be treated with a real sense of discovery because the area is currently not being visited (yet) by the other operators.
