Hi All. Looking for thoughts on our planned family vacation to Indo coming up in March/April.
We're a family of 5 -- two divers and three non-diving snorkelers. Oldest boy (14) and I dive; Wife, Girl (14) and youngest boy (10) snorkel and swim and generally relax. I've got around 200 dives in varied conditions (Caribbean, Maldives, Fl. Keys, inland). Son was just certified in Cayman, and did quite well.
We are planning to stay 8 nights in Amed at a beachfront villa (Aquamarine Beach Villas), after spending a day in singapore (travelling from East Coast US). Haven't selected a Dive Op yet, so looking forward to suggestions/thoughts on that. Afterward, we are considering a few days in Bunaken. I've heard most folks got to Komodo after Bali, but not sure that my son is ready for that high-current drift diving yet.
Any thoughts/recommendations on that plan? Is Amed comfortable enough for the non-divers for 8 nights? Will the Amed Dive Ops do day trips to Nusa Penida for Manta Point (I assume that they will all be doing trips up to tulamben as well)?
Thanks!
Tom
