I've posted a fairly epic 7 part trip report on my Sulawesi trip on the Ocean Rover liveaboard in August 2008. The trip was meant to venture half way up the Sangihe archipelago, but bad weather meant we didn't get further than Bangka, Lembeh and Bunaken. Not really a hardship considering how great the diving is around these areas.

The trip report has a review of the Ocean Rover liveaboard itself on Page 1, and then Pages 2 to 7 are photo galleries of the amazing things I saw underwater. There is also a beautiful 10 min video shot by Peter Walker.

The trip report is here:

If you can't be bothered to read all that, the short version is - it was brilliant! The Ocean Rover is a fantastic boat, really well set up -- it lacks a little romance perhaps, but the dive deck and camera gear areas make it heavenly to gear up and very stress free handling camera equipment.

I also wrote a trip report of a 5 day stay at NAD Lembeh resort, which was great too
NAD Lembeh Trip Report - Lembeh Strait, Indonesia - August 2008 | Scuba Diving Asia | Divehappy.com - thanks to all other SBers who have previously written trip reports about NAD - I chose the resort because of those and I wasn't disappointed.

As ever, questions and comments always welcome.

Cheers

Excellent report!
While i was in Komodo, a guide told me that the diving north of Sulawasi was excellent.

Will definately consider this LB in the future.
And i agree, NAD is excellent.
