As background, I am a PADI Master Diver with abut 3,000 dives, 40 years experience and have dived everywhere except the Poles.
I have been eight times on Grand Komodo boats, four times on the Temu Kira, each time better than before. The dive company is excellent, and the crew, captain and dive guides are the best, tops in my book. Highly recommended.
