Comments	There r many life aboards in area. Most r stout wooden vessels. We did see one that looked to have its own chopper pad. Maybe Jeff Bezos private 😂😂. Given the space in our bungalow with attention to camera bench and outlets, we would not opt for a live aboard. No idea if they are more or less expensive, but wouldn’t want to be stuck on one for 2 weeks- which is our trip duration. We are still here, Nov 27, and have a week to go. Food is prepared with variety- Indonesian cooking but not spicy. Only beer and wine at bar if ur so inclined, we weren’t. Doing 3 dive’s daily, with 4 at nite, if ur up for it. We have unlimited dive package. Have seen mantas at manta dive , visited Melessia Garden in first couple days. We are both using housed canons- mine in Aquatica. However the iPhone 14 pro, which we both have is EXCEPTIONAL in either a Sealife case or my friends (I forget name, it has touch screen). Using 16k lumens for light. Easy to switch back and forth between video & pics. It’s is so LESS bulky and convenient, especially if u get caught in a 6k current.
