Comments Long flight broken up with a 2 night stay in Bali. About 35 or more hours to get to the Damai II which was beautiful and well cared for. Rooms were very spacious with each having a bathroom. Food was excellent with multiple choices for most meals. Divig absolutely excellent. One DM for four divers. DMs were switched around to different groups so you had a day or two with each one. We saw many wobeggons and other charks, many mantas, all kinds of nudis and many, many schools of fish. Magic Mountain in Warakaraket, a pinnacle at about 80 feet was one of the best dives I've ever done-mantas, white tip sharks, octopi, Napolean wrasses, etc, etc. The fish life never stopped! I heard before we got there that there were so many schools of fish you could hardly get any good pictures. That pretty much says it all.
