Our cruise directors were Simon & Andrina, they've been with the company for 5 years. Very experienced and super fun
We liked the trips and company so much that we have decided to join them and will start as cruise directors on Damai 1 next week. Which means we will be also cruise directing our own charter. Odd how life turns out! Super excited for the new venture and if you are booked on Damai 1 feel free to drop me a pm

Nudisusie - I have a question for you. You mentioned that your favorite out of all those areas was Triton Bay. Can you tell me why? I'm in the process of planning a dive trip and am undecided between Triton Bay or Misool. I'm assuming you love nudibranchs and they are one of my favorite critters to find while diving - how as Triton Bay as far as any odd nudibranchs go? Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Calliejlong
I think i enjoyed diving in Triton Bay the best because of the variety of marine life, lovely soft corals, loads of small critters like ghost pipefish and nudis and plenty of fish species. Misool however is superb diving. I've been through Raja another few times since the report posting and Misool never fails in terms of marine diversity. We saw mantas, sharks, turtles and tons of fish but there is so much bigger stuff and almost every inch of reef is covered in corals and sponges that its harder to find the critters. Misool Resort is lovely and they have a nursery of juvenile black tip reef sharks right on the door step.
But if nudis are your goal then Triton Bay would most likely hit the mark. I saw lots there, but a recent blog from 2 guests of Triton Bay Divers , who were at the resort whilst we were on the liveboard, shows there are many more to find...(169 different species!)
Anthony's Nudibranchs
We're going back to the area in May so I'll be on the look out for more nudis too.
