Comments	We had a great trip run by Kerri and Hergen. We enjoyed diving also with Pete, Christine, Bawa, and Nyoman. The trip was extremely well planned. The crew checked the sites before each dive. We never missed anything or were dropped against currents. We really loved that the boat had a photo pro and did E-6 processing. We were able to predict which lenses to use on our dives. This was a tail of a Chris Newbert trip and he was onboard which was great. I scored some very good lessons on wide angle photography. The soft corals and schooling fish are just beautiful. We didn't see many reef shark but saw our first and many wobegone sharks. Ambon had in one dive, Mandarin fish, sea horses, koman shrimp, zebra crabs, frog fish, stone fish, octopi, flamboyant cuttle fish, and snowflake morays everywhere. The soft corals growing on the roots of the mangroves in Misool where beautiful. Night dives weren't as exciting as Komodo but were ok with a fair amount of critters. The boat and salon were very comfortable. We're returning this fall!

UW Photo Comments	Still do E-6 processing! Photo pro, Steve, onboard which was greatly appreciated. He provided my digital husband with help with his computer files. We had many photographers on our trip with multiple cameras and it was great.
