Because of high water temperature, there were a lot of multicellular
creatures in the water that reduced vis. Still, vis was fine for most
puroses except photography. Vis inside wrecks was very limited and so
photos of large objects like airplanes and trucks in holds was not
possible. Still fantastic diving and close up photos of cockpits, radiators
and tires turned out fine. Photows on deck of large objects like tanks were
fine also. 

Some reports of locals using explosives from the ships for illegal fishing
around the wrecks and in holds. Not much enforcement apparent.

Divemasters and all the crew were terrific. So were the passengers. Can't
imagine a better trip.
