We've all been waiting! Let me know how I can help as to uploading photos in the Gallery here. We ought to create a Gallery Folder called Indonesia or Raja Ampat or something.
As you can see, we've been busy tending house since you've been gone, and the event countdown you asked for I got, just in time to be too late for your trip! lol
We also added the SM WorldMaps so you can see just about anywhere in the world up close via satellite.
It will be nice to hear a report and see photos! Our Publisher has had Sulawesi, Lembeh, Gangga and Raja Ampat on the radar as like me, he too is a macro fan.
Kasawari does have excellent nitrox, although I used air. I don't know about the 100's. I have the kind of air consumption that makes me want 60's. I hate coming up with a lot of air. on one dive with a similar consuming diver, we spent 80 minutes on a shallower dive. Everyone was about to send out a recovery party.
Well I found out Kasawari has only one 100 tank.!...Lembeh Resort has many....People like you make Air Hogs like me.....Cry!!!!! ....LOL.....In Guam....Calling my flight to Palau...gotta go
Well, call and reserve that tank. They fill it for each dive since you dive one at a time. You will really love that place. It's worth it to stay there.
Diving is Lembeh Strait is great! I go there regularly and it's always a pleasure to see all those weird creatures
But for some variation in your dives, next time think about Bangka. If you stay on Bangka, you get the change to dive around Bangka itself (with amongst others many kind of very tiny seahorses), but Lembeh and Bunaken Marine park are only 1 hour away by boat
What more can you want...
A beautiful and new resort is Mimpi Indah resort on Bangka, and they have nitrox and very full tanks
Yes, Lembeh is well worth the trouble to get there. I saw creatures I have been searching for all my life. On one dive I saw five different frogfish. I saw five different HAIRY frogfish there. They all pose patiently as you click away, too.
And that was just the frogfish! The shrimp, pygmy seahorses, octopus, and other critters wowed me too.
As for Kasawari Lodge, I can't say enough good things about that place. Here are a few of my pics to show what you might find there. I WILL be going back there some day.
The boats were a local design and wonderful to dive from.
