Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] sub/shark video

As with everywhere around here, the vis is seasonal, although there is 
less variation at depth than near the surface.  I wouldn't be too 
worried about vis, though - it's not Howe Sound.  IIRC, the best chance 
at viewing six-gills is on the Flora Islet wall during mid-summer in the 
dead of night.  They are accessible to sport divers - 30 meters depth 
should give you a good shot, but the local dive shops will have more 
information on the tourist stuff.  I have only done the six-gill dive a 
couple of times, and those were years ago - their behaviour may have 
changed.
