Overall Rating

We were met at the airport in Bali, whisked thru customs and off to our
hotel.  A very pleasant experience after 19 hours in the air.  After
resting up for two days in Bali, we flew the charter airline to the resort.
 Taxis met us and took us to the boat for a 10 minute ride to the resort. 
Our luggage was waiting at our bungalow when we arrived.  We were briefed
on the resort operation and prepared to go diving.  The dive boats are 70
feet with only 12 divers, toilet, camera rinse tanks and snacks between
dives.  The reefs are pristine, some of the best coral I have seen in over
20 years of diving.  Very few large fish, but the reef fish and macro is
outstanding.  The dive guides point out the macro subjects (pygmy
seahorses, shrimp, cowries, etc.).  Some of them are difficult to see with
a magnifying glass.  Stay with the dive guide if you want to see the macro.
 The house reef is a wall, as good as any of the dive sites.  They will
drop you off along the house reef and let you ride the current back.  The
food was gourmet, with a large variety at each meal.  They have a dedicated
bread and pastry chef who turns out fantastic desserts daily.  You are
allowed to do all the diving you want on the house reef, which gives you
time for macro photography.  The bungalows are very comfortable, hot and
cold water (safe to drink also) and kept clean daily.  Plan to stay as long
as you can afford as this is a long trip to get here.  Exceeded all our
expectations.
