Reporter and Travel

Dive Experience 501-1000 dives
Where else diving California, Socorro Islands, Cozumel, Cocos, Indonesia (Komodo, Lembeh, Wakitobi, Banda, Raja Ampat), Papua New Guinea, Sea of Cortez, Red Sea, Galapagos, Hawaii, Little Cayman, Belize
Closest Airport DPS Getting There Fly to DPS (Bali) and then the resort has a charter flight to Sulawesi. It's a very well-organized, smooth operation.
