Comments	Great trip. Boat holds 16 passengers. Only 4 were on our cruise, so crew attention and accomodation were superb. This was an exploratory cruise to Talaud. Some dives were so so, but on an exploratory trip you have to go with the information available. Having a personal dive guide and only two divers per dingy made for wonderful critter finding and photography. Beware, however, that North Sulawesi does not have the soft corals of Raja Ampat. Many underwater volcanoes which are interesting but have sparse growth. Found two wrecks which were interesting. Spent last dive day in Lembeh Straight. Upper deck cabins are doubles which were plenty large for two of us. Lower deck has two doubles and two single share cabins. We loved the owner/manager Roman and his outstanding crew. Ocean Rover does Raja Ampat cruises and we would book this boat again and again.
