Comments	Very enjoyable diving to the Sangihe Islands, including the underwater volcano and several hot springs, and a few dives, during the return, in Lembeh. The dive term and set up on board was informed, high energy, and well organized. The cook did an outstanding job, inclusive of accomodating special requests. The trajectory through the islands is very interesting, underwater, in particular, but also, on land. The Symphony, the smaller of the Murex boats, is fine topside--a long table for meals, viewing photos, and conversation, and some deck chairs. The cabins could benefit from better air circulation, though air conditioning is not needed, just more movement of air overall. I understand that the plumbing problem in one cabin was repaired when the boat returned. Nonetheless, the cabins are clean, sufficient, and well looked after each day. A plus for the Symphony is that 4 divers were able to dive for a week without having to pay exhorbitant sums. And, most importantly, the dive crew is very familiar with the area, benefitting from Murex's years of experience.
