Comments	I cannot say enough good about this boat. It is worth the hassle of getting to Ambon. We started in Ambon and ended in Tual, the Banda sea. Weather was great, dives were spectacular. This is out of the way of most divers so saw no damage to reefs. The Dewi is a top of the line liveaboard, rooms comfy, food good, staff out of this world, camera room as good as it gets. I hired my own guide, Andre, for the second time and he was great. The boat staff took good care of the camera gear, everything was on the boat so we did not have to do anything except carry our mask onto the skiff. True valet diving. Getting there was a hassle, I have in the past gone through Bali both directions with at least one night coming and going to rest up. I use Agung Wiraputra <agung@mobiuslogistics.com> for local reservations. He meets you at the DPS airport and arranges transportation, hotels, and flights to wherever tiny airport you need to get to to board the boat. The Dewi picks you up at airport and takes you to the boat. We fly EVA airline for the international flights, excellent service. On the return we went through Jakarta, which was a mistake, bad airport, should have returned through Bali. Although LION Air and Garuda have iffy reputations I have found them both to be ok.
