Comments This was my 4th trip on this boat and I loved every min of it. We first dove the Derawan Islands that we had been diving for the past week, but the vis had greatly improved since we first got there. We traveled almost 1,000 miles diving all along the way and ended in Lembeh for a day and 3/4 of excellent muck diving. If there was any downside, it was that 2 days we only got to make 2 dives because of long crossings. Really everything else was just wonderful. Water temps did get a little chilly the further south we went, with a few dives around 76-77 F.
