Hello everyone
My friend and I are considering spending about 9 days diving among Bunaken, Bangka, and Lembeh from 29th November.
I realize this is when the rainy starts and hope it's not too torrential.
We're keen on the murex dive center 'passport to paradise' package.
What this entails is efficiently diving at three different locations. Efficiently because the commute from Manado/Bunaken to Bangka and then Lembeh is by boat.
So, even on the commute-day you get to dive on the way.
So no lost-dive-days due to land commute.
In addition to the convenience of diving whilst commuting, you're comprehensive itinerary is handled by a single entity.
We got our OW/AOW/Nitrox (I've got rescue diver as well) about 13 years ago. He has about 250 dives.
I have close you 300, of which 70 were from the past 4 months.
So we're both very comfortable underwater.
We enjoy the pelagics, coral and macro.
At Manado, we'll be at the murex resort
At Bangka, we'll be at the murex Bangka resort. And at Lembeh, we'll be at the Lembeh resort.
While rustic is ok if we have to, we'd prefer a little luxury if possible. Nice meals, ambient evening social area.
We're flying in to Singapore and then into Manado via Silk Air.
I'm most probably bringing all my dive gear sans weights/tanks.
My dive gear consists of:
Scubapro hydros pro
MK25 evo
S620ti & r095 regulators
Shearwater perdix ai
Mask
Seawing nova fins (large)
Full body rash guard
Dive shorts
Compact dsmb
Magnifying lens
Nanight tech 2 light (umbilical cord & canister type)
I have a Sony fdr x3000 action camera.
I doubt I'll bring my canon 5d mkii dslr, because I'd prefer to bring my dji mavic drone and travel as light as possible.
We'll primarily be diving so my underwater sony action camera for dives and drone for celestial dome footage.
I suppose I don't have any particular questions at this point, but putting out my itinerary in case anyone suggests something.
Thanks.
