Hi All
I was just browsing a few threads on diving in Maratua and Sangalaki and managed to get onto the sangalaki.net site Dive Borneo Indonesia with Sangalaki Dive Lodge in Kakaban, Derawan, Nabucco, Maratua, Samama and see mantas, turtles, sharks...
which has made an announcement of closure of the dive op. resort in march 2009 after redevelopment by Jeremy Stein? Why has there been not much discussion about this?
Can anyone shed some light on why this is so and why is it that fish bombing and other unsavoury fishing practices is allowed at targetting marine destruction in the area?
What are we doing as a global community to take action?
I would love to visit someday but Im not sure due to the reports of the inefficiencies of transfers to Maratua etc. Are there liveaboards that cruise to the area that are reputable? What is Derawan Resort like? I have also heard rather average reports about Maratua resort.
