Comments	This is my second trip to Lembeh Resort and all as good as the first. The facility is beautiful with well kept grounds and a nice pool for afternoon relaxing. The food ranged from very good to excellent. Some of the native Indonesian dishes were the best. Incoming directors Helen and Gizmo have a real challenge to improve on what is already very good. This seemed to be a great octopus season. I saw two blue rings, a coconut, a half dozen mimics and a few wonderpus. A couple of others that I can't remember. They have a new mandarin fish site that has the most photogenic little guys I have every seen. Most mandarins disdain bright lights, these appear to enjoy the chance to be big stars. The night dives are also great and I pretty much had something to shoot at all times. We also spent a trip to the coral sites at California Dreamin and Angel's Window. Both were very nice with lots of tropical fish and some beautiful soft coral. One point was covered with fully exploded red, orange, and purple corals. Very similar to what I saw in Raja Ampat. They were great to help when needed. I had several small camera and housing problems and Steve was always willing to fix what ailed me. Without him, I would not have finished the week. I used the executive lounge option which was mostly worth the $25 that I paid. It was very smoky however which is part of what I paid for. All in all, it does not get much better than this.

UW Photo Comments	The resort is a dream operation for underwater photographers. One of the best in the world for subject matter and facilities. It would be nice to have a water bucket on board, but not a huge deal given the short ride to dive sites.
