Comments Much of the reefs were destroyed by either typhoons or dynamite fishing. Most of the dives we made could have been shore dives. When I am on a liveaboard I expect to go to more remote pristine places that you can't get to from land.

The cabin accomodations were very small. We had to maneuver to store our bags under the bottom bunk bed. I wore the same clothes all week because it was too difficult to get my clothes out from my suitcase. My bunk mate stored her clothes and toiletries on her bed.

This place is better for muck diving, but Lembeh is better.

UW Photo Comments Good critter diving - muck. On land the camera setup was good. Spacious room dedicated to uwp. Ample rinse tanks. On the liveaboard the camera setup area consisted of a little coffee table, which also housed reference books, in the salon. Very inadequate in terms of lighting and everything else.
