Comments	Boat is very roomy & comfortable - salon & 2 separate sun/shade areas. Dining either salon or alfresco. Food wonderful with Asian & American most meals with fresh fish several times. Diving is as easy as it gets.. Never handle gear and gear off in water before exit. Staff assisting at all times. All drift dives from two tenders with quick pick up after dive completion. All dives sites in Komodo National Park have great color and healthy coral. Reefs are alive with small nudi's, fantastic feather stars of numerous colors, many different tropical fish including leaf scorpinfish and some but fewer sharks and turtles. At " The Alley" there was well over 100 Mantas for the fly by but they generally keep their distance. Water was cooler in the southern dive sites but not as cold as previous reports indicated with 3 mm & hood being good. Only 8 divers ( 14 for full boat ) and 19 crew. This is a great staff and with over 2 staff for every diver the service was out of this world. It will never get better than this. From the pick up by Divemaster Gary at hotel to drop off at Airport this trip was world class. The BAD ! 3 canceled flight segments, a day & 1/2 going & return. And you will drop everything in a minute and do it again if given half a chance. "THIS IS DIVING !"
