Photos from Solomon Islands

In August I did a ten day trip aboard the Bilikiki in the Solomon Islands. I was very lucky to have only six guests aboard the boat for my trip. It made for a very spacious and luxerious trip. The Bilikiki offered five dives per day most days, but often four was enough for me. Highlights of the trip for me included near shore caverns and cracks, crocodiles, and amazing visibility. The opportunities for wide angle photos were much better than opportunities for macro, but my understanding is that critters become more common later in the year, peaking in November. Here are a few of my favorite photos from the trip.

LOVE the cavern shot! Thank you for sharing these.

I've read several reports of trips on that boat, and all of them have been extremely positive. Sounds like a really good trip.
