Photo: (top) Transiting to a survey site in Kimbe Bay, Papua New Guinea. Probably the best consistent diving conditions of anywhere I have dove. Water was always flat, great visibility and no current; ( left) Beginning of a hunting trip for reef fish at Laysan Island, Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. A school of Giant Trevally (Ulua; Caranx ignobilis) were ready to greet us before we entered the water and would follow me hoping to dart in and steal a catch. My spear would be a pin prick to them; (right) a school of fish in Papua New Guinea. (Photo credits: Ed Roberts, Iria Fernandez-Silva. Video credit: Jonathan Saupe
