Comments	This is our 6th time with Grand Komodo [in about 11 years] so we feel like part of the family. Their new Raja Ampat Dive Lodge is excellent, with great nearby diving, excellent food, and the usual friendly service. It is hard to get there, but worth it. The fish life is tremendous--sharks, tuna, eels, mackeral, yellowtail, pipefish, manderin fish, cuttlefish, hawkbill turtles, pigmy seahorses, scorpionfish, ghost pipefish, decorated crab, schools of a thousand blue fusiliers, epaulette shark, slipper lobsters, electric clams, batfish, and one big manta continually circling at Manta Sandy site. I spent 80 minutes with him. Pretty much unbeatable world class diving, with a great outfit at a reasonable price. Oh, and our group of 5 divebuddies and photographers had the entire liveaboard! Yes, we will return, ASAP.
