Yes, this is it exactly! Note also that it seems to be a requirement in bathing suits for women that they show about half of each cheek. As a hetero guy I love it. As a human person ... this is ridiculous. I'm glad I am not expected to show off half my butt!

No waaaaay!!!
I’d refuse to go diving on the same boat! Wonder how Made would take it too...
That unfortunately is becoming the problem with Komodo. It used to be an area people used to aspire to once they'd racked up experience, now lots of people go with only 20 dives or so and thus the diving gets downgraded to match.
We're off there in Dec, on a tiny boat run by current junkies - max 5 (there are 4 of us, all used to diving in big currents here at home (which are more than equal to those in Komodo)
Their MO is because they take experienced divers, they can wait until the optimum time to hit a site (best current, and when least other boats around) So far they've ticked all the boxes when we've asked (pointed) questions, however the proof is in the pudding as it were, I'll report back post trip
Back to your original post...
Because our longest no dive is 5 - 5 weeks max, we don't get the same apprehension as others who've had an extended time out of water, but the down side, it because we dive so regularly we also don't get the same excitement leading up to the next trip
That is almost worse Dubai Diver.
A couple of years back, I went to the Red Sea with a group of friends. I was diving but thinking to myself. Meh
I thought omg, I don't care about diving anymore.
It turned out that I was coming down with the Egyptian flu. What a relief! I was so sad there for a couple of days just to think how that joy seemed to have gone out of my life.

he he we have been diving five days and that 5th day was the first I felt 100% completely at home gearing up and in the water. It's nice when you get to that point, eh? Just having fun gearing up - no worries, easy to remember all the little bits and pieces -- and once in, a strong drift was welcome fun.

@dirtfarmer we asked abut this -- one of our buddies wanted to go as well, we would have ad a full boat -- and the answer was: "Yes, we go there *but* there is too may chop now, better to stay in mid-Komodo". Funny, I have heard exactly that answer on a LOB earlier this year. I wonder if it is a standard answer when they don't want to take you there for whatever reasons? Fuel cost, maybe? Suspicious me.
