Excellent boat, staff, diving. I traveled alone but the group was fun, staff fabulous. The shared spaces were very comfortable. The boat was gorgeous. I would go back. The camera facilities could be better but worked ok for a group with about 1/2 photographers. It would be very crowded for a full boat of photographers.
The Damai II is the second best liveaboard we have been on. The staff was great and very knowledgable. We had long dive times and valet diving. Camera facilities great. Our room was delightful. The cruise director would ask us after breakfast what we wanted for lunch and dinner that day, give each of us several options. Since many people have food issues this was the best service I have ever had. Great macro diving.
Lembeh is not what it used to be. Although critters that blow your mind still exist they are not in the quantity they used to be. Nudi Falls no longer falls with nudis. Too many resorts and too many divers kicking up the black sand. It is still awesome for someone who does not remember it from a few years ago. And the night dives are spectacular. I won't tell you where the best night dives were.....
The surrounding villages are extremely noisy. We were there just before a drumming competition and there was drumming practice and "music" starting at 5:30AM. After the competition the drumming practices stopped but there was loud music coming from all directions all day long.
Electricity stll goes off intermittently and the internet is intermittant. If you are used to luxury this may not be the best destination but if you like night dives it is still spectacular.
