Very comfortable boat with ensuite facilities.  If possible splurge and get
the upper deck cabins.  Nice to have the back deck area to chill out
between dives and in the evening with a nice glass of wine.  Food was very
good.  7 day trip from Bali to Komodo and back to Bali.  Diving between
Bali until you get to Komodo wasn't as good as in the park.  On 7 day trip
only had 2.5 days in Komodo park.  Trade-off to flying to Bimi or
Labuanbajo and doing entire 7 day trip in Komodo park.  Along Sumbawa
several interesting sites with black volcanic sand.  Coral/fish life
generally in very good to excellent condition.  Well worth the trip.
