Comments	This was our/my 10th trip to dive with Murex and the caveat is that I have a very special relationship with them, cultivated over all of those trips. (I'm known as "Opa Gila" when I'm there. Feel free to ask me what it means.) But I wouldn't keep going back and taking people there if I didn't feel it was worthwhile. So here are links to my trip report, pictures, and a short turtle video: TRIP REPORT: [reefseekers.com link] PICTURES (SmugMug): [kenkurtis.smugmug.com link] VIDEO: [youtu.be link]

Reporter and Travel
Dive Experience	Over 1000 dives
Where else diving	I dive all over the world on a regular basis (please don't hate me).
Closest Airport	Manado	Getting There	LAX-SIN-MDC. From LAX, take the late evening non-stop to Singapore, arriving a little after 7AM, and then go to the departure gate for your 9:25AM flight into Manado. Lots of travel time but easy-peasy.

Weather	sunny, windy, rainy, cloudy	Seas	calm, choppy, currents
Water Temp	87-89°F / 31-32°C	Wetsuit Thickness	1
Water Visibility	40-80 Ft/ 12-24 M

Enforced diving restrictions	Generally asked not to go below 100 feet and stay no longer than 60 minutes (including safety stop).

What I Saw

UW Photo Comments	Great photo subjects for both wide angle, close-up, and macro. Hard to know which lens to take on some dives. But you'll have plenty of photo opportunities and will want to plan some post-dive time each day to review what you've shot.
