Did you encounter any pelagics? Sharks, rays, mantas?

I was there in 2018 and encountered Hammerheads and Mola-Molas. No mantas or whale sharks, as luck would have it. Coral reefs are unbelievably pristine, rich, fishy. Photographers paradise.

Michael What time year did you visit?

By Michael Wood in WA, US at Nov 29, 2021 12:54 EST

April, 2018. Scheduled to go back next June, 2023 if their area opens up to tourists by then.

There were large schools of large fish on several dives, and sharks in current alley. The mola mola encounters were snorkeling on our off-gas day and were truly incredible.
