Comments	THIS IS THE MOST COMFORTABLE BOAT THAT I HAVE HAD THE GOOD FORTUNE TO DIVE FROM. FOOD WAS GOURMET, WITH THE PRESENTATION OF A FIVE STAR RESTAURANT. STAFF WAS SUPER FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. DIVE CREW UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF TH ONE AND ONLY LARRY SMITH WAS TERRIFIC. OF COURSE DIVING WITH LARRY SMITH IS AN EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME. HE CAN ALWAYS FIND THE MOST UNUSUAL AND SURPRISING CRITTERS. I MOST CERTAINLY SAW CRITTERS THAT I HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE AND PROBABLY WILL NEVER SEE AGAIN. OUR TRIP LEFT FROM BALI AND TRAVELED THROUGH KOMODO AND ON TO KUPANG ON TIMOR WHERE WE LEFT THE BOAT AND FLEW BACK TO BALI. THE ONLY DISAPPOINTING ASPECT OF THE TRIP WAS THE FISH BOMBING DAMAGE IN WHAT WAS ONCE THE PRISTINE REEFS OF SUMBA AND SAVU. MY ONLY REGRET WAS THAT I COULD NOT CONTINUE ON AS THE BOAT MADE ITS WAY TO RADJA EMPAT IN IRIAN JAYA. PS THE BALINESE ARE GREAT AND THEY ARE WANT THE AMERICANS BACK. DON'T GIVE IN TO THE TERRORISTS.
