Comments	Jewel Bubble is a small operation with local ownership, but the 6 pac boat made for great trips to Somsomo striats and the Great White Wall. I made this trip three times in 2 weeks and it was magnicient every time. The operator makes sure the currents are in the correct direction for the wall of blue/white soft corals to be in full bloom. Their rental gear was new and in good shaoe for those who don't want to drag their own gear. Many brought their mask, fins, and regs, and rented the rest. The locals are "very" friendly, and extend the warm greeting of "BULA" as you walk along the roads, or dive operation. The down side of this small boat is room for only one medium size rinse bucket, so if more than one photographer, you hold your camera during the trip. But the photo opportunities are so fantastic you don't mind the inconvenience.
