Four of these are clearly visible from the surface. There is also a USA inflatable air field sank to the bottom of Tegano Lake, a kilometre outside of Hutuna village.

You could be the first to explore the huge under water Octopus cave north Tegano Lake, however you have to bring with you all the safety diving gears as there are none available in East Rennell at present.

Alternatively, an hour bushwalk to the sea side for snorkling adds extra flavour to your snorkling experience in East Rennell.

If you are interested in fishing, why not try out Tilapia fishing or eel fishing in the lake. It involves some skills but locals will safely guide you through the process. Or you might want to walk to the sea side to fish where there is always guarantee of a good catch.

Locals normally use spears and some times lines with hooks to fish but of course you can bring along your fishing rod and tackle box if you have space in your luggages. Crayfish is in abundance.

BIRDWATCHING

Birdwatching is one thing that you don't want to miss while in East Rennell. Tegano has become a sanctuary to a lot of bird species which Birdwatchers will love to get closer to enjoy it in full.

The most common birdwatching spots is 'Motu-manu' (Bird Island) situated far South East of the Lake and some to the northen side. To witness and admire the magnificance of birdwatching, you must plan to be at these bird sanctuaries very early in the morning before the good number of them go out for the daily fishing trips or be there in the evening when the birds arrive with their catch.

For the more adventurous, there is more but you have to travel further North East from bird Islands to Tigoa where you take an hour bushwalk through the jungle to the sheer cliffs of Manuatea.

If time or circumstances does not permit you to travel far, simply walk through the jungles from anywhere you lodge and you will not be disappoint, because birds will be there. Don't be surprise if you discover a new bird species while out there.

Don't forget your binoculars and your camera.
