Comments	This was a return trip to Bastianos Lembeh. Having been there in 2011. The resort has upgraded many of the rooms, adding three over the water bungalows. The world class muck diving of Lembeh did not dissapoint. The customer service at the resort was top notch. My partner and I took a group of 28 divers on this trip. Some of them new to muck diving. It was great to see the over all enjoyment of the folks that had never done this type of diving. The resort and dive op took very good care of our group. It is not always easy for an OP to handle this big of a group but they did it with efficiency and made sure everyone had a great time. The vis was a bit off as I think there had been some weather the previous week however it improved over the week and in reality with muck diving it does not matter so much. We say many of the typical critters including Blue Ring Octopus, Hairy Octopus, Mimic Octopus, hairy frog fish, flamboyant cuttle fish. The list goes on.

UW Photo Comments	very nice camera room with individual work stations. Air tank for drying. Power outlets and work lights. On the boat they had two rinse buckets, one for small rigs and one for bigger rigs. The dive team were very conscientious of camera gear and took good care of the rigs
