This sounds like an incredible holiday, thankyou for the detailed report! Napoleon wrasse under the arch in particular sounds awesome; I've only seen the very top of the arch from above and am really looking forward one day to diving the arch itself. MV Tala and her crew sound superb too, great to hear that operation is one to aspire to holidaying with.
I'm curious; what kind of weather did you have out there in late September, particularly sea state? Was there much trouble with seasickness? And how was the visibility, in general?
Thanks again for a great report; can't wait to see more photos!

On the penultimate day we had mill pond conditions at Elphinstone but the beginning of the week was quite rough!
The currents were ferocious with up/down drafts but depending on when you dived, it was a bit hit and miss.
Just something else on the dives to monitor and work with.....and to be honest it made the diving more of a challenge and more satisfying.
P.S Lion fish are evil! :D
