Comments	the good: vey good divng; almost all reefs and walls had "too much bio-diversity"; crew tried very hard to serve the divers ( only 8 of us instead of 12); food was plenty and snacks were abundant; very enjoyable, considerate diver group; finally saw Woebegone sharks and very unusual critters. the bad: 3 dive sites with very strong current dived at wrong time (at Kri-Eco, Mike's point had very mild current at low tide); most of crew did not speak English but we had no problem since an Indonesian woman was diving in our group; rain sorta ruined the viz. at the passage. previous notes on Grand Komodo tours published in Undercurrents were accurate; e.g., the boat captain was well experinced; the tour was well organzed and no flights were cancelled
