Comments	Wonderful dive operator. The boat did not fill for the trip, so I got a private room for no extra cost even though I originally booked to share my room. Extra large tank available for me as I use air fast. Food and company very good. The boat itself is huge for a dive livaboard and is a step above in terms of a rather luxurious dive cruising environment. I had some trouble with my camera housing and the staff mechanic fixed it up better than when it was new. Video of trip provided using cinema quality equipment. Videographer on staff absolutely the best I have ever seen on a dive boat. Talented and thoughtful crew. The highlight of the trip was our brief stay at Gunung Api where all the sea snakes make for some great dives. Gunning Api is otherwise very pristine and one of the best locations for diving I have seen in Indonesia. I wish we could have spent a week there. Did some great muck diving in Ambon and near Wakatobi. Some sites with quite pretty shallow water corals. Some of our divers were lucky enough to see a sunfish while going to one dive site. Very nice and rewarding cruise. Highly recommended.
