Comments	The liveaboard Dewi Nusantara is a beautiful, 3 masted schooner that feels like a floating 5 star hotel. The crew, the cabins, the food, the dive masters - all were fabulous. Underwater there is an unequalled amount of unique wildlife including many sightings of the graceful giant mantas. It will be our diving trip of a life time. The currents were brisk, but usually manageable. The use of a reef hook was necessary to stop in some locations and to let the sea life go by you. Getting to Bali is easy. Taking the two hopper planes to the boat was not pleasant, and was the most difficult part of the trip. The Dewi staff handles the travel arrangements within Indonesia, thank goodness, and it is largely out of their control if the local airlines were/are a mess. If your schedule allows for the 3 day travel time to get there, and you have the stamina, do this trip!
