Ocean Rover moving to N. Sulawesi

Hi all,

The Ocean Rover Liveaboard is moving to N. Sulawesi in June. They are doing Bunaken/Lembeh/Sangihe and Raja Ampat routes. We are interested in doing a route that goes to Sangihe and the Agressor does not go that far north. Does anyone have any opinions about the Ocean Rover?

Thanks,
Laine

Ocean Rover is actually leaving Phuket, Thailand on May 15th and scheduled to arrive in North Sulawesi towards the end of this month.
It's a great boat with a spacious comfortable dive and whale deck, huge sun deck, large cabins (although cabins 1 and 2 are somewhat cramped and miss a double bed), ample dry area for cameras and charging, and a cosy salon.
Also, it's structurally well build and very well maintained.
It's a great boat to dive from and a great boat to work on!

The boat is great. It is an open question as to how the boat will be operated by the new Indonesian owner and an Indonesian crew. I will be looking forward to seeing reports.
