Comments	"Muck" diving in Lembeh Strait is fabulous - Lionfish are so common, you shoo them out of the way. Wall diving mediocre due to occasional currents and large local population ate all big fish. Ocean Rover great boat, not returning to Sulawesi next year - but I recommend them for Thai diving (based in Phuket) IF I went again, I'd go land based to Lembeh for a few days to only do muck diving, then hop up to Phuket to take the Ocean Rover. Singapore has worlds greatest airport for any layover - competitive priced shops, in-airport hotel, wide choice of food.
