Comments	We were suppose to go north to Dampier Strait before going south to Misool but the weather north was bad, so we did all of our diving around Misool. The diving was great but similar. We did encounter some current on most dives although we tried to stay out of it the best we could. Had to abort one dive half way through because of the up/down current. The dive masters were very good at pointing out the small stuff, especially the pigmy seahorses and the nudibranchs. One could stick with them or not. They kept tabs on you. The crew was very attentive to the guests and provided water and warm towels upon the return from the dive. The Seahorse is ready for some upgrades as it was looking a little worn. The owner was on board and is planning to build a new boat. This will give him the opportunity to take this one out of service and refurbish it. The food was OK. We were out for 12 days without resupply. They did a good job keeping the fresh stuff but it ran out towards the end. One got a choice for breakfast but not the rest of the meals. They were all served, not buffet.

UW Photo Comments	There was not much in the way of a camera room or facilities for photographers. One handled your own equipment. Luckily there were only a few photographers so there wasn't an issue. The room was warm so things did dry quickly. However, I took a lot of videos so the subject matter was great.

I'm going in December on Seahorse.Did they serve desserts?Or should I go to a bakery prior to departure?Any helpful hints would be appreciated. Thanks, Jeff Moore

Yes, we had desserts. Don't remember too much about them except for crepes (or maybe that was breakfast). Do remember that there was ample food as I asked for half portions at many meals plus there were snacks between dives. Do remember we had fruit frequently until the end when it ran out.
