    Default single female wanting to dive in the solomons

    Hi there,
    Has anyone had any experience diving out of Honiara on their own? Was it safe enough. I really want to do the wrecks out of there but have no dive buddies ... not that sad, happy to go by myself just wondering if it's a good idea?

    Are you solo qualified and if so would those dive be pinnacle dives? If both yes and no respectively then go for it. If not both then don't.

    I don't think Jane was referring to her diving ability but rather the safety of a woman traveling alone in a foreign country.

    Hi Jane,

    I wonder if the dive operator there can put you in touch with some other female guests who are also planning a trip in your time range.

    Don't be sorry, I could be wrong anyway.

    Doesn't look like anyone that visits the site on a regular basis has been there.

    Well, considering I am not working right now you could always send a ticket to me and I could be your chaperone.

    Well, there are two schools of thought at work if you find another women to travel with you: Depending on where you go, you either increase the target size by twofold, or you decrease your chance of being the one picked for mayhem by 50%. Neither are good options. Travel with a guy, preferably one who is armed!

    Or just go to the Philippines by yourself, we're safer there than in any major U.S. city or I can put you in touch with all sorts of women divers there.
