Comments	This ship was amazing. The dive operations ran quite smoothly and my only criticism is that the ladders on the tenders are hard for short people to easily get up. Everything else about this trip and the operators was excellent. I totally enjoyed the trip. This boat is large and spacious for divers. There are individual dive stations and an indoor camera room. There are 3 hot showers on the large, stable rear deck. Staterooms were large with OVERSIZED bathrooms--bigger than some hotels I've stayed in. The itinerary was a repositioning trip from Kalimantan to Lembeh, Sulawesi. This trip had very varied dive sites and marine life in abundance.

UW Photo Comments	There was a large outdoor area for putting camera equipment on for preparing for dives. Camera equipment was rinsed in separate rinse tanks. There was also an indoor air-conditioned room where each photographer could set up their own dedicated station with power.
