Certification & difficulty

Technical

Snorkelling

Not a snorkel site - Not explicitly confirmed as a snorkel site; shallow sandy floor and light-beam effect near the surface/lagoon end suggest possible viability, but no operator markets it as such - VERIFY

Safety notes

Overhead/narrow passage - buoyancy control essential to avoid silting or contacting walls; guide-led entry recommended

Permits & fees

Not documented in sources found; Solomon Islands dive sites broadly sit on customary/traditional landowner land requiring village fees paid by operators, but no source specifically confirmed a fee for Leru Cut - VERIFY

Permits and operators change - confirm before booking.
