Comments The resort went all out to take care of the Dave Haas 25 divers, most of whom,had cameras. The resort brought in several extra boats to accommodate our experienced group. This upscale resort is a resort first, with dive facilities. One downside is very long walk pier to the boats, with rides occasionally available. The crew both in the resort and on the boats, was enthusiatic in taking care of us. They seemed to get a kick out of taking care of 4 Canadians and 21 US citizens versus their normal Asian clientele.Our location choice was madated by the original choice of Bali which with active volcanos including today was prudently changed. Wonderful macro shots plus the exotic diversity of the far Pacific with ornate pipefish, hairy frogfish and crockodile fish amongst the many choices.

UW Photo Comments Large camera room available for our mass of photographers which you would expect with a Haas group. The exception is the occasional spouse who doesn't have a camera with several of the group compensating for them with multiple cameras.
