Comments	Rooms were spacious with plenty of room to spread out camera equipment and computer. Outdoor Balinese bathroom, A/C, huge bedroom, and separate living room. Large wrap around porch overlooking water. Really concierge diving. Gear checked in on arrival at dive shop, and cleaned/dried upon departure. Eco conscious resort even in a very polluted area that has no infrastructure for trash disposal; I.e., no plastic water bottles allowed, large water coolers in each room, stainless water bottles given to each guest when resort meets you at airport, etc. Resort is on the side of a steep "mountain" so lots of steps. Food fresh, lots of variety, great presentation, delicious. Resort management staff, Ana and Miguel, were friendly, highly visible, and ate meals with guests...great people. Macro diving is unbelievable. Black, barren bottom that looks like nothing there. The dive guides start pointing out the incredible life; blue ring octopus, wunderpus, mimic octopus, hairy frog fish, many varieties of frog fish, ghost pipefish, sea horses, etc. Some moderate current on some dives. Nitrox fills dependable, dive site variety excellent. We went to Indonesia for a couple of months of diving, and this was our first stop. I will definitely go back.

UW Photo Comments	On site photo shop with pro always available. Sasha, dive pro, approachable and knowledgable about photo equipment. Separate camera room with plenty of individual stations, electric adapters, towels, etc. Dive guides work hard to find macro subjects and are excellent at it. Give your "wish list critters" on arrival and you're likely to see 100% of them. DM Iwan was the best and a photo pro in his own right.
