Lembeh Straights & Bunaken Island, Indonesia
TWO Spots remaining!
14 night pkg, 5/5/12 - 5/19/12 is approx. $1,867, less 10% for the first 10 to commit & pay deposit (dis...count only available if we get 10 to do the 14 day pkg!). But, $1867 for 2 weeks is LESS THAN A 1 WEEK LIVEABOARD IN THE CARIBBEAN!!! You would have to depart the US on 5/3 or wee hours of 5/4 to arrive on 5/5.
Package Includes:
(The Lembeh week is fan only, the Bunaken week is A/C)
3 boat dives/day
all inclusive food
coffee, tea & water
and snacks on the boat.
Add-ons:
Single surcharge for a room is about $15/day.
Shore diving (from a boat): $12 unguided, $15 guided
Nitrox is +/- $4.27/tank.
$?? Lembeh park fee
$?? Bunaken park fee.
We will likely lose 1 day of diving when we move from Lembeh to Bunaken, so it will be relax on day of arrival, 5 1/2 days diving in Lembeh, switch to Bunaken, then 5 1/2 days diving in Bunaken, and 1 off-gas day before flying home. Not an organized trip....we’re all adults and can get ourselves there & have fun together, but to get a group discount I may have to collect the deposits & pay all at once. We’ll work out the $$ soon. Arrange a roommate or pay S/O if we can’t pair you up. Water temps should be in the 80’s. http://www.bastianoslembeh.com/rates-table/ The same people own the resort in Lembeh AND in Bunaken.
Resort wants 25% deposit now, and another 25% deposit in 6 months with final payment due on March 15 2012. The first 10 who pay a deposit will get the 10% discount off the final payment. Make a $475 check payable to Tammy Hauk. Tammy will wire the deposit, transferring the $$ to the resort to cover those who have confirmed.

Here are some videos of some of the things you might find.

During a dive in Lembeh Strait, Indonesia, a Wonderpus octopus seemed to pay no attention to us as it hunted. A shrimp goby defended its burrow but the octopus was undeterred and disappeared down the goby's burrow.

This is an amazing opportunity to spend a few weeks diving two different locations. Consider joining the group of divers while there are two spots remaining.
Still a couple of spots left
