Some background to Robin's videos.

Visibilty was often reduced due to plankton in the water, however that plankton drew the bait fish and the sharks and mantas that made the dives exceptional.

Holding a camera in some of the currents was extremely difficult (bubbles travelling horizontal at times). Often the DM's would advise not to take cameras due to visible current from the surface. Murphy's law,with cameras topside, we would then descend and see whale sharks doing cirque du soleil routines. I exaggerate, of course there are no trampolines underwater.

You never quite know what you will see in Palau but if you dive enough you will surely see some exceptional stuff.

Great job Robin, and I look forward to Ron's stills.

cheers
Shaun
