Comments	We traveled with a group from Annapolis SCUBA Center in Annapolis, Maryland. We had an opportunity to spend some time in Bali while going over and then in Singapore when coming back – I would recommend both to everyone!! All the dive sites had wonderful Macro opportunities. There were Lot's of Pygmy Seahorses and Nudibranchs. Wayne loved the Shore Diving each night - by taking the skiff up current and using current to drift back to Dive Resort. We didn't like the Long Room Dinning Facility - It was Hot and Crowded (It did look like they were building a new dinning facility - which would help immensely). Additional Comments Likes: Workers were very cordial and accommodating Dive Operation was great (Boats, Pier, On-Shore) Resort Location was very good Dive Masters were excellent Internet connection available Ample Food served at mealtimes Dislikes: Dim Lighting in Bungalows (Cathy Bad / Wayne OK) Air Conditioning not adequate (Poor Insulation in Bungalow) Room Décor was lacking (Cathy Bad / Wayne OK) No washcloths (Cathy Bad / Wayne OK) Paid Premium - Bungalow to far from Main Building Alcohol very expensive (Take a Bottle from Bali) No snacks between meals (Take some).
