Comments	Our trip was the first for the boat after it got back from dry dock and a major refurbishment. The boat returned late and we missed a day of the trip. The crew did the best they could given that we were stuck in Bima (NOT a place you want to go on vacation). After some negotiation with the home office everyone received a 20% refund. Refurbished boat was very nice. Cabin are spacious (except perhaps the two in the bow). Crew was helpful, though not overly. Food was plentiful and good. Dive sites were varied and interesting. Several had very strong currents. Overall, this is not a trip for an inexperienced diver. Small dive groups (four or less). Local dive masters moved slowly. The two western dive masters often went very deep (their preference) and moved quickly. When asked they (sort of) adjusted their profiles. On land stop at Komodo National Park to see the dragons up close was very interesting.
