    Quero,

    Trust me, we will be on the prowl for Raja Ampat resorts/LOB when we're at DEMA.

    For North Americans, it is a huge haul, but it is one of the most remote, premier relatively uncharted dive destinations in the world that has both macro and wide angle.

    I was just hearing about one particular new resort right in the best section of an Island within Raja Ampat.

    For a lot of these new resorts the trick is going to be to find one that can handle at least a different dozen divers plus any friends they bring.

    Just a side thought, for me diving is more than just being underwater, it has been a great way to meet people with similar intrest. An Instructor friend of mine recently stated, that All his friends are divers. He is into alot of diffrent things and has varied interest, yet he finds that the people he spends his free time with are divers.

    So having a social enviroment as well as some diving would be the best of both worlds. Just my 2psi...

    I could careless if this event was held in PNG or at a quarry I would try to get there. Depending on my fianaces...

    Thanks from here too, you're brave, trying to ratify the needs of a group of geographically challenged divers!!

    If you need any assistance from this side of the pond, let me know and I'll see what I can do

    Cheers

    thanks for that bottlefish, I'll let you know...

    How is London these days???

    I'll be back over there around May/June or even July next year...I just hope the weather is sunny and hot at that time, otherwise i'll be freezing my butt off - I should actually add that it'll only be for a two week vacation

    London is cold, wet and expensive... we've had a miserable summer and the weather has already turned to autumn. I'd suggest keeping yourself within spitting distance of the equator for as long as you can!!

    Get your votes in folks, only another three weeks to go to vote on where the first SMN group trip should be.

    Currently its a tie between the Philippines and Costa Rica.

    The choice is up to YOU....
