What splendid eyes these little gobies have  They hide in small crevices in rocks. They are shy but curious and it is easy to photograph them when they lean out to scrutinize the external environment. Havelock Is._April2024

Site is famous for dolphins could be often found there during daytime. However diving is not the best approach to get in touch with them. Most appropriate way is to setup a zodiak and ride the reef around with snorklers onboard. Dive ships will point the location of dolphins groups and zodiac could quickly reach one and drop off people. Wide angle supposed, no external flash recommended to be taken as it enlarges equipment wieght and volume - having a need to go 5-7m deep by freediving it's better to keep equipment as lightweight as possible.

Besides dolphins there's a lot of marine life, some caves and a shallow water reef.
