The sharks come very very close and there is plenty of time to get as many photographs as you have film to shoot. The picture above was taken with a 13 mm Nikonos RS lens from about 2 feet away. Planet Channel and Chapman's Reef are excellent pelagic dives with various sharks and Spotted Eagle Rays along with schools of Jacks. At Albatross Point we interacted with nearly 100 spinner dolphins. Water temperature is a warm 84 degrees and most people wore little or no thermal protection.
Some dives have heavy strong currents and most have mild currents.
In some cases current lines and reef hooks were desirable as the current was far too strong to swim against. If you turned your head to the side it felt like it would rip your mask off. The night dives were less sensational than in Milne Bay but good never the less. Critters Jacks, Tuna, Sharks, Eagle Rays were plentiful. Small critters were there but not as plentiful as in Milne Bay.
