Comments	From the greeting at the Sorong Airport (Raja Ampat area), to the final drop off at the Manado Airport (MDC) in N. Sulawesi, this team of dedicated divers and Coral Triangle experts catered to our every need for 11 days. This was a crossing trip from Raja Ampat/Misool up to Halmahera, Tifore (Molucca Sea) with final dives in Lembeh. We averaged three to four tanks of Nitrox per day and saw everything from turtles mating on the surface to giant Oceanic Mantas in Misool and Mantas in Raja Ampat Cape Kri area. The tornados of schooling barracuda were majestic and brought chills to my spine. All of the dive guides and boat staff had smiles and fun but safe attitudes on each dive. The food was fantastic and plentiful. The hot ginger tea served after each dive helped increase body temp and soothed the stomach. Each night we were blessed with amazing sunsets, off one island bats streaming out from their resting place to feed, and music with fun conversations from guest from many different countries on the upper deck each evening. We had such a great experience and value that we came back to the Raja Manta again in August for another diving adventure from Manado with a loop up to the Sangihe Region (islands just south of the Philippines).
