Comments	We had first been to Raja Ampat in 2004, on a longer liveaboard trip, and we found this trip to be much different. There are lots of divers now, at every good spot. This area still excels when compared to most other locations. We saw Pygmy seahorses so many times we quit counting. At Magic Mountain, huge mantas soared all around us. We found wobbegongs, frog fish, and ghost pipefish all on the same day. There was one bad thing, and it was that the boat emailed us a week before departure that no credit cards could be used. This was a problem, as were already in Asia and couldn't get cash from our U.S bank. So, we visited ATMs In Indonesia to garner enough cash, which was a huge hassle, because we didn't bring our own dive equipment and needed to rent.(we were traveling for 10 weeks mostly not diving). Then, once on board, with a mountain of Indonesian money, we learned we could have used Paypal. So, better communication and a usable credit card machine would improve the experience. The good: great dive masters, wonderful crew, and friendly fellow divers. We really enjoyed the Russians, who were fun to hang out with after diving. The food, while not gourmet, was varied and plentiful. The cabin we had was very comfortable. All in all, this part of Indonesia beats most other places underwater.
