Comments	I went with a local Indonesian dive club "Kapal Selam" which means submarine in bahasa. They were a great bunch of divers from Jakarta, KL, Singapore & HK, but there were also 4 Americans. There were 17 divers, but the boat can accomodate up to 30. I paid $200 extra for a private room and it was well worth it. Total cost for the boat for a week was about $1600. The local club is able to get prices far below those charged to foreigners by the big operators. Only aluminum 80's are normally available, but you can get a 100/120 cuft tank if you ask for it in advance. Some of the dives had very strong currents which made photography impossible. They were a waste as far as I was concerned. The biggest disappointment was the lack of large fish. The condition of the corals was excellent and the water was free of pollution. I hope to go again with this operator. The shore excursion to see the Komodo Dragons was disappointing, but I did get soem good photos.

UW Photo Comments	Did not have a dedicated table with compressed air, just a shelf along one side. However, you could set up in the lounge where there was plenty of space.
