Comments	This is a great place IF you are happy with 2 - 3 dives/day. Four are offered, but the afternoon dive is at 3:30 and almost no one did it. We (my wife and I) were sometimes the only night divers. The resort is lovely and the food and service excellent. Nearly all the clientele were European and they seamed to enjoy the relaxed pace of 2 morning dives, an afternoon Spa visit, and a long, multi-course dinner. We fell under the spell and skipped the afternoon dives in lieu of full-body massages! There were many families: snorkeling boats were offered, and nanny service! The diving was very good -- only the lack of big stuff kept it from matching the best we've done. Healthy hard and soft coral, nearly all the critters of Lembeh Straight, some whitetips, turtles, and the usual reef fish. This is the best all-around resort we've been to (better even than Wakatobi) for diving, food, service, relaxation. When we no longer are up to 6+ hours/day diving on liveaboards, we'll go back!
