We were disappointed as far as seeing pelagics, only a lone shark or turtle showed up. The macro was very good however. The sea fans and soft corals are magnificent. We used reef hooks on several of the strong current dives....what a great way to watch the huge schools of jacks, tuna and barracudas! We searched repeatedly for the pygmy seahorse but didn't see one. I was lucky to see the elusive shrimpgobie on a dive at White Beach. The crew couldn't have been better which compensated for the age of the boat. Meals were plentiful and satisfied the needs of the health conscious eaters as well as the picky ones. I'd go back to PNG before I'd return to the Solomons, however, better cluck for the buck. |
