Comments	Dive masters were very good at pointing out the small critters, e.g. nudibranchs, manta shrimp, ornate ghost pipefish, orangutan crabs, etc. They also located electric clams, frog fish, ribbon eels. Lots of lion fish in the area. DMs were very accommodating to photographers and videographers without penalizing the non-photographers. We were thrilled to finally capture a photograph of a pygmy seahorse. Opportunity to get a rebreather experience was available. Excellent dive at dusk to see the mandarin fish doing their mating dance. Side trip to Verde Island was worth the effort. Topside service was excellent, and the staff were a lot of fun. Special occasions (birthdays, 600th dive, etc.) were celebrated with gusto. Buffet dinners were varied and delicious.
