    Bangka (& Bunaken) Trip Report - Bastianos July 2022

    They have them in the rooms but shut off the power at night as well, is my understanding - same as Nomads. That's why as I said I am a little hesitant, and considering Bastianos as a backup (just need to see if I can swing the extra $$$ once all the other pieces of the trip come together).

    Bangka (& Bunaken) Trip Report - Bastianos July 2022

    Have seen them before but totally forgot - thanks for refreshing my memory! Definitely looks beautiful as well. Did you find that it was very hot at night...? Sleeping without even a fan is my only hesitation.

    Bangka (& Bunaken) Trip Report - Bastianos July 2022

    Late to the party but thanks for the helpful info - just booked my ticket to Manado for Feb. I'll be making a return visit to Lembeh and am planning to check out Bangka for the first time. I'm looking at Blue Bay - I had initially talked to them in 2020 but that plan went sideways. It's on...

    INDONESIA 2022 TRIP REPORT, VIDEO, & PIX LINKS

    Great pygmy seahorse shot - those little buggers are not easy to snap!!! Sounds like a great trip. I'm headed back to Lembeh for the 2nd time in February and hoping to add on a visit to Bangka this time around. I've heard good things.

    Trip Report Caribbean Explorer II, St. Marteen, Saba, St. Kitt

    You make an excellent point - I hadn't even thought of that part. If you didn't dive Saba, then you absolutely should not be paying a marine park fee, OP. That money is paid to the marine park office weekly based on the headcount on board.

    Trip Report Caribbean Explorer II, St. Marteen, Saba, St. Kitt

    Switching back & forth multiple times is a definite no-go for several reasons, safety as well as logistics-wise, but there is no reason why one can't switch from air TO nitrox.

    Trip Report Caribbean Explorer II, St. Marteen, Saba, St. Kitt

    Honestly, I preferred St. Kitts diving even over Saba. Saba sites are prettier and there is a better chance of seeing reef sharks, but St. Kitts has some great macro life and some very interesting sites - it helps immensely if you have someone experienced. If you were just thrown in at St...

    Trip Report Caribbean Explorer II, St. Marteen, Saba, St. Kitt

    Official company policy is that all tips get split - you are supposed to turn it in. Sometimes the Capt let people keep individual tips - they actually didn't happen all that often when I was there. Also re tipping, OP stated an expected $400 per person which is not really accurate. First...

    Trip Report Caribbean Explorer II, St. Marteen, Saba, St. Kitt

    Several, actually. Bob, who is now mostly on Turks boat; Ian, who has been threatening to retire for about a decade; and Michael, who lasted less than 3 months, I believe. We may have nicknamed him Cpt Ron...the rotating cast certainly kept it interesting lol. I have heard loads of stories...

    Trip Report Caribbean Explorer II, St. Marteen, Saba, St. Kitt

    I also find it odd that they didn't even attempt to dive SXM if it was calm there...in my experience, the diving is not the best, but as you say it's better than sitting on the boat. @Jayfarmlaw was there a purser on board? I would highly recommend bringing your concerns to the person in that...

    Trip Report Caribbean Explorer II, St. Marteen, Saba, St. Kitt

    Lionfish are absolutely not native to Saba - the DMs are not permitted to kill them due to Saba marine park regulations. The park staff sometimes go out and attempt to cull the lionfish population (or at least they did a few years back). The local reef sharks will eat lionfish once they have...
