I had an excellent time staying and diving with Cedric, his family and the crew, who I found to be very hospitable! Kepa is a wonderful little island to stay on, but is not an extravagant 'luxury' resort - although its location is amazing! There's no hot water, and its more a low impact eco 'homestay' style place with traditional thatched bungalows (and a couple of new larger, family sized bungalows with sunset views). There's solar power lighting in the evenings and great communal meals cooked by Bibi Nene using local market produce, and an interesting mix of backpackers and divers staying there. Best to contact Cedric in advance to arrange a stay (it does get booked up), and to get there you take a bemo / taxi to the village of Alor Kecil where you wait at the pier, and a boat will pick you up to take you across to Kepa (let Cedric know your arrival time).

Thanks Bora. That is good to hear. It is definitely an option for next year.
I was looking at your pics on Flikr and the one with the little crabs in the pink sponge is such a great shot.
