Dive Review of
Kasawari in
Indonesia/Lembeh

Pacific, Caribbean, Asia, Mexico, South & Central America

Dive Conditions

The DMs were able to show divers many more critters than one would see on
one's own, but diving with DMs was not mandatory. The resort was the best
run operation I have ever dived with.  

Boat crew and DMs are extremely camera savvy, cameras were treated with
utmost care on boat, transported between camera room and boat by staff.
Camera room was perfect, with work and storage stations for every diver.
Work stations were at a perfect height, plenty of dry towels, compressed
air, electrical strips, both 110 and 220. Well lit area with a security
guard present. Viewing area for completed work on TV upstairs. DMs were
exceptional at showing photogenic critters. 
This is a dive resort built by a very talented UWP to his exacting
specifications.  

Overall Rating

This resort is the height of understated luxury. The service, food, and
staff were outstanding. The rooms were large and well appointed, grounds
are going to be absolutely gorgeous in another year or two, this is a new
resort, built from the ground up for discriminating underwater
photographers. Nus, the manager, was the best DM I've ever had. He's been
kicked up into management, but still tries to dive with each group. His DMs
have worked alongside him for years, Ali, Deddy, and Wilson are absolutely
great. The boat rides were short, which is good (no heads on boats). Divers
handed up their cameras and took their gear off in the water to be handed
up to staff. When climbing up onto boat we were immediately greeted with
warm washcloths, a cup of water, and a dry towel. Snacks were ample and
good. Boats returned to resort between dives to allow for camera changes,
downloads, and fresh batteries. The changing area was lovely, with HUGE
rinse tanks with fresh water that was changed frequently.
The food was great, allowing for all tastes. I always found something that
appealed. Don't forget to bring your own batteries, as supplies in Bitung
(nearest town) are somewhat limited. Also, bring your bug spray, mosquitos
are the size of birds here. Wireless internet access throughout the resort.
