Additional comments:
Happened at end of 1st dive; group had deployed SMB; me & buddy spotted school of hammers & drifted further out to look; turned to come back to safety stop.... she came up out of the blue to check us out; so up to about 10m depth?... then past us & turned away & went deep (2-3min encounter).
Of the two days we were at Darwins Arch; she was the only encounter by both groups on our boat (& we were told the other boat present didn't have one at all).
