Comments	H and Camilla run a great business. They are friendly, fun and willing to customize trips based on a diver's interest. We took 2 full days (3 dives each day) at Nusa Penida (in a small high powered speedboat) in search of Mola Mola/Sunfish and were lucky to see three which was a trip highlight. The water temperature was mid-70's and there was a significant amount of current. The soft corals are beautiful and the reefs are abundant with small critters however the currents (1 to 2 knot) hinder your ability to take photographs. However, the overall beauty and the possibility of seeing Mola Mola make it a necessary excursion. H custom tailored a 2 day trip (just for me) to Tulemben and Candidasa where we dove the USS Liberty, did muck diving at Seraya and outrigger diving at the Gili Islands in Candidasa. H took care of all of the details and equipment. It was incredibly relaxing for me. The surface intervals are enjoyed poolside at the beautiful Seraya Resort. The reefs and muck dives are replete with sealife. There were schools of tropical fish, honeycomb eels, harlequin shrimp, seahorses, frogfish, sharks, Mola Mola, etc. Not only was the diving diverse and interesting but there was adventure in diving from different platforms (ie beach, outrigger). If you enjoy macro photography as much as I do, this is a dream dive area. The water was warmer (about 81-82) and there was little current.
