I did mine with the Nekton Pilot the day it came back from the refit in May. It was a great trip which I enjoyed thoroughly being a photographer. My only gripe was the lack of any sharks. I only saw one from a distance throughout the entire week. My favourite site of the whole week though was The Playgrounds. 35ft waters made for long dives and more ambient light. The night dive there was fantastic too. The following pics are from that trip. All were taken at Medio Reef itself with the exception of the last photo;

This picture is of the remoras at most of the dive sites.....they were extremely friendly and posed for me much of the time....cheeky curious creatures. Here they are swimming off to check out a diver in the distance. The twin remoras won me photo of the trip as well. Competition was tough though.

This was taken at the Playgrounds. The Loggerhead was massive. There were also MANY stingrays all over the place. Needless to say, many startled divers had Steve Irwin in their minds when clouds of sand exploded under them as hidden stingrays took off. Here is a shot of a Turtle / stingray confrontation.
