Comments Really enjoyed the experience here. Lovely staff, great (healthy!) food. The worst was getting there; the boat ride from Sorong to the resort was not the most comfortable (i.e., not able to be outside the cabin; it's a good time to sleep). Bugs were bad during the evenings, as is usual for the tropics.

The diving was excellent. Strong currents (due to new moon) for several sites, especially manta feeding station site. Dove in small groups of 4-6, with divers of similar interests/abilities.

The dive guides were fine, although not the very best we've ever had. If you have specific needs, be sure and speak up.

If you like the freedom of diving a specific reef multiple times, the house reef is excellent, with easy access right off the dock. We look forward to returning next fall - will stay longer, due to effort in getting there.
