The resort we stayed at this time was HamuEco resort. The resort is owned and operated by Jakarta owners, and the operators were really friendly. The guides were dive masters certified by SSI. Although we brought our own equipment (Tanks, dive boat, and bcds), we did have a chance to take a look at their tanks and pretty impressed by the condition of the tanks. All the tanks were service recently (2-3 years), and compressor is gas operated with the air intake far away. Here are some pictures of microshots I took with my PowerShot D30 (testing the limits at 30 m). We saw 3 full size turtles at Saurek Jetty. A huge Manta ray about 3 times my size at Blue Magic and very lively corals.

Visibility varied, and definitely more murky then monsoon season, attracting giant mantas.
