Amazing! That video is exactly why I am planning on doing the Deep South trip in February or March 2020. I would love to hear a bit more about your trip since there isn't a ton of info out there about those routes/boats given how short the season is for the South itinerary. There do appear to be a number of LOBs doing the trip now with similar comfort levels and similar pricing - would you recommend the Adora? My priority would be to go with an operator that is experienced in the area and knows the ins-and-outs of the route and has smaller diving groups (ie a good number of DMs on board).A Short video taken during a Triprific Dive Trip to Maldives Deep South onboard MV Adora in March 2019.
Shoot with Sony RX100M5 with Nauticam WWL-1.

How were the diving conditions? I have heard Deep South can be pretty gnarly.. did you see any hammers (though honestly you saw everything else - WOW!)? Any crowding at the sites with numerous LOBs? Any other tips/reccos for someone going next year? Thanks!
