Comments	Bob, Patti and Jamie Arthur make every effort to make you feel as if you were coming home after a long stay away. There was no need that was not tended to during our visit, indeed during any of our 4 visits. The pelagic life is absolutely amazing (see my videos at gallery.mac.com/batzer1), and I couldn't want a better place to stay. If you enjoy diving, and don't mind a bit of a bumpy ride, this is the place to go. It is in my top 3 dive destinations, of which one no longer has a dive operation. Do bring your own gear, rinse your camera in the shower of your bungalow, and expect first class meals while there. Additionally, make sure you visit Nan Madol, a wondrous place.
