Finally we settled the LoB. Padi travel turned out to be kind of BSing us. They kept telling us that Yoshi was confirmed departure (with or without us) - but once we requested a booking they kept delaying confirmation. It turns out that they are hopping for it.
Anyway, we gave up waiting and went for Jaya instead. We booked through scuba junkies directly for the trip departing on the 19th of March.
So our plan is for me to stay in Jakarta 5-6 days with family etc (unfortunately I don't have money for more traveling this time). My friend might go somewhere else around Indonesia for trekking/sight seeing (I don't think he would go diving himself). Then both of us move to Sorong on the 18th and join the LoB, before we head home on the 27th.
It will be my third time in Raja Ampat - I love the place hence I am not complaining.
Bali and/or Komodo next time!
Thanks for all the help and info
