Comments	This was my second time on the Pindito. I find to boat to be very cozy, great food, and has a great crew. This was also my second time to Raja Ampat. The group I was with booked the entire boat so we were able to decide what itinerary we wanted on this trip. Our itinerary took us to Wayag, Kawe, Alyui Bay, Yeben, Pef, Mansuar, Dampier Strait, Mioskon, and Jerif. We climbed one of the islands at Wayag which was absolutely spectacular! Dive schedule: 7AM dive, breakfast, 10AM dive, lunch, afternoon dive, and a night dive. The diving is amazing. We did encounter a lot of current on many dives and some not so great visibility. Not sure if it was the time of year we went. The weather was ok, but a lot of cloudy days and some rain. We were there on a new moon which may have influenced the currents issue. Some divemasters were better than others, it was one of the guides first trip with Pindoto so I think there are some growing pains there. But overall, they are good. Boat accommodations are great. In fact the bathrooms had been renovated since I had been on the boat the first time in 2016 and are the best on any liveaboard I’ve been on. The rooms are very comfortable and there is lots of storage. The food and the crew are outstanding! I highly recommend this trip and the Pindito, in fact we already have our next trip booked for 2020!

UW Photo Comments	They have a camera room that is set up nice, although if you have more than 6 or 7 photographers onboard it would be a very tight squeeze.
