I can't recommend The Kura Hulanda Lodge and Ocean Encounters West enough. At both places the staff was phenomenal (even
Bryan!). The hotel is nice, and yes it is a little more expensive than some. The shore diving is fantastic, and more than makes up for the cost difference! I got in at least 4 shore dives a day (plus 2 boat dives) while I was there and no two dives were even close to being the same. My only limitation was getting my friends back in the water! On the boat dives, the OEW staff were very helpful, passing goodies around, helping with cameras and fins, they did it all. We enjoyed the company of the DM's so much we all even went out a few evenings together (thank you Sunshine @ Sol Food!) Our group is going back again this Thanksgiving. God Help Them!
