Comments	This was by far the best diving I have ever done. The reef and the critters were spectacular. The healthyist environment I have seen. The boat and crew were wonderful. The crew was the best I have encountered. They helped you in every concievable way, even took my wet suit booties off for me at the end of the dive. Hot chocolate after night dives. State rooms were huge, in fact the whole boat was hugh. I just can't say enough about the total experience. Have booked another trip in 2 years. The only clitch was the engine broke down and we had to get towed back To Ambon the last day. Missed the last day's diving. I felt like they should have offered some kind of compensation. However, it was such a wonderful experience that this is easily overlooked. Went to their sister land resort in Ambon for 3 days after for muck diving-incredible! See my report for Maluku Divers in Ambon.
