I did a trip report on this board at http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/indonesia/418804-alor-trip-report.html. It was worth the effort going there, not sure it is a place to return to but definitely worth diving. Have fun.

... there are only two other options, and would require staying in Kalabahi. Of the two that operate out of Kalabahi, one I felt was overpriced and unresponsive in emails (the Australian operator) ...
Interesting remark about Donovan's price. I felt it was probably the best package dive trip price (round trip airfare from Kupang, lodging, meals, 4 dives/day) we'd ever seen, and everything went remarkably smoothly. For some reason, he doesn't post his Gmail address that goes straight to his phone, but that's the one he sees all the time.
I haven't been to the other backpacker resort la Petite Kepa (also french owned) though I've seen their big slow dive boat with a younger crowd. Accoms seems really basic. They also seem more muck oriented, since they're closer to Kalabahi bay than from the good coral or pelagic dives (Bama Wall, Current Alley, etc). Coudl be worth on a budget.
"The diving was as Boletus says. Some great macro, but Kepa didnt really favour going into the bay that much to see it.
