    How far ahead should one book a flight?

    Hi, Local flights price almost don't change unless you're getting close to the expected date so no worries on that matter. If flight is cancelled you will be refunded and will need to book another one. You should use traveloka it is the number 1 website for local flights and works well !

    Diving the USAT Liberty Shipwreck, Bali Indonesia

    There are a few small penetration that i would qualify more as dive through. The Wreck took a hard hit during the eruption of Agung and related earthquakes but it is still a highlight of a trip in Bali. Very few wreck are so decorated by corals and so easy to access !

    Indonesian Bathroom Hygiene Practices?

    From my experience living in remote indonesia for years. Toilet paper is almost never provided, even in some "international kind of range" hotels. This being said , t is readily available in any of the small shops by the side of the road so no worries on that matter.

    Wakatobi info please

    Hey Guys. To answer you question about the chamber. It has been installed if i am not wrong in 2014 in the public hospital of Wangi-wangi and is indeed owned by the government.

    5 days available - Tulamben vs Padang Bai vs..?

    Luko, did i say something wrong to you ? Your answer is full of assumptions, agressivity and judgemental while the point of my post was just to say that i do understand that some people do not want guides, and that it is not mandatory in Tulamben nor in Amed as long as you comply with local...

    Airlines to Sorong

    Batik are usually less tight on carry on than Lion Air, worse being Wings. Anyway it will all depends on ground staff, if the manager is around or not. Usually playing the dumb card with the smile helps you to get away with a few kg overweight. Sometime i carry more than 25kg on carry on split...

    5 days available - Tulamben vs Padang Bai vs..?

    I beg to differ a bit on the guide use, i guess we all have different expectations as it come to diving isn't it ? and that is something we all should respect. Tulamben has wonderful macro sites and having a sharp eyed local guide to show you things is an invaluable asset...if you needs it. I...
