Comments	[youtube.com link] Here is a video link for the trip, it says more than words can. Overall a wonderful trip with fantastic diving and subject matter especially with coral and small tropical reef fish and abundant healthy colorful coral. Misool has some of the best soft coral gardens I've ever seen. The dive staff overall was helpful and it was great to be able to use my rebreather on the trip. The staff however did have their agenda and were not very open to suggestions from the clients as far as dive locations or what to see on the dives. Also, the boat doors were very short and I was constantly banging my head and getting scrapes. Sort of a mixed bag overall, but frankly overall quite a positive experience.Food was great, accomodations pretty average for a liveaboard.
