Nimrod Explorer Southbound Far Northern Exploratory

I have finally booked (I think) a berth on the Nimrod Explorer Southbound Far Norther exploratory tour. I like the itinerary and sounds like a good trip. Has anyone on this forum taken this trip? Any comments or recommendations?

Thanks in advance,

Tom

<_< It turns out I got some disinformation and the trip is actually itinerary #11 which includes Raine Island and the great and small detached reef. Anyone been on this trip give thumbs up/down?

I will have to leave my hard storm case in Cairns because there is a small plane leg with strict weight limits. I will have to tranfer my housings/lens/strobes etc into a lighter bag. Anyone have any recommendations for a good bag for this situation.

Thanks,

Tom
