Comments	The Forgotten Island trip on the Damai II began in Tual and ended in Maumere. As usual Giel and Gerry meet and return divers from the airport and make the trip enjoyable with their lively and entertaining personalities. The diving in Forgotten Islands was on par with diving in Indonesia but on a scale of 1-10 was about a 6 for me. I have done some really awesome dives in Indonesia. Do not misinterpret my comments, diving is like fishing and can also be affected by season. I will make another trip along this same route in November on Damai II. I would highly recommend any trip on this vessel, it will spoil you in diving and raise the bar for dive for dive experience. If you do not bring a lap top or media storage device it is recommended to at least bring a memory stick so photos can be shared. It is near impossible to get Giel to e-mail photos because of time constraints and limited internet access.

UW Photo Comments	As with so many others reviews of Damai II the camera room is set up nicely to accommodate individual divers. 220/110 is available at each station. The photo/video gear is handled professionally from the vessel to the skiff and in and out of the water. I never had any issues with photo/video equipment. the skiff does not have a rinse tank but the gear is stored on the floor at the stern and is covered with a towel.
