Dive Krakatoa in August

[vickyn]

Hi - Has anybody dived Krakatoa and would you recommend it? I'm there in August, will this be ok?

It's been 10 years since I dived there but it was in August and it was pretty darn good diving. It would not be my choice of destination if flying half way around the world for but it would be a great if you find yourself in Java / south Sumatra for a few days. I recall the reefs being in excellent condition with more than 95% live coral cover, visibility very good and lots of smaller critters to hunt around for. I don't remember anything bigger than small turtles though.
