Photography
The Solomon Islands are world-renown for their abundant marine life, pelagic fish, WWII wrecks, and spectacular wall dives with superb visibility. This makes the Solomons an underwater photographer's dream and Princess II provides facilities for keen photographers. A camera table, rinse tank and several shelves are located in a protected area on the dive deck. A 5 megapixel digital Olympus camera and an underwater housing (40 metres) are also available for rent.

Photographers can test their housings in the big rinse tank before moving down to the large dive platform, where they can put on their fins and enter the water right on top of the dive site. Crew members are always on hand to assist you with your camera on entry and exit.
Alternatively, the large Naiad RIB with 40 hp outboard can quickly take you to that special place of interest that you wish to see.
Camera batteries can be recharged at several points in the salon and also in your cabin. The dining tables can be used as work stations where you can download digital images and review them on your notebook PC. The day's underwater video footage can be enjoyed by all the guests by plugging your video camera into the TV set in the salon.
Power points are 240V 50 Hz AC as used in Australia and New Zealand . 110 V is also provided for charging camera and torch batteries.
