      We booked the live aboard to dive with a group of Filipino friends we met through Kai, our Filipono retailer. We have dived with them/some of them in The Philippines and Socorro before. The journey is long and expensive, so we added the resort on, to make it more worthwhile......

        Oh, and as Paula has just reminded me. Our preferred option would have been boat and then resort, but someone has to be back to go fishing in Oman 🙄

            Photos will have to wait. We are at Misool, this is the first time with one bar of LTE in days.
            Bloody good dives! Today plenty of sharks, the reefs healthy and very diverse. Few more days here and we are going back to central Raja Ampat.

                Brilliant. Wonder which of those we will do.....

                  Between a snow storm on Monday and an ice storm that’s lasted for two days now, the thoughts of a tropical location with warm waters and fish is extremely appealing. Enjoy the dive’s!!

                  We are reconsidering our yearly trip to the Caribbean as of now. We didn’t book one because we didn’t want to pull the oldest out of classes…after this week, not so sure.

                                            @Giles at what resort are you staying and what liveabord? Central Raja has some of the strongest currents I experienced so far, but the marine life came in abundance. Reef hooks are indeed needed and timing of water entry is everything. I had 3 times when I missed the mark just by jumping from the other side of zodiac from the guide. Those 2 meters really made allot of difference. I had to work really hard to catch up.
