wildbill, not all dives in Raja Ampat are drift dives. The Kri area, yes is heavy on the drift dives and tend to have the most current, but many of the sites in Raja are not drift dives. Al Mitch had a lot of good things to peruse in regards to options. Indonesia has some really incredible locations. RA is truly epic and if you want to do land based look into the resorts in the Missol area. It is the best of the Raja Ampat region which is very large.
In regards to muck diving if you like taking macro photos muck will lead you to critter heaven. Yes you might see a dirty diaper and some junk but amongst that junk just might be lurking an amazing sea creature. Ive been to Lembeh 4x and will go back again, it has some of the best muck diving in the world. Your wife might be bored or uninterested or go crazy over all the cool creatures so check out some videos on youtube of Lembeh and see if she would like it.
we did bunaken as well last trip, but not lembeh. we will be back to check to check lembeh out. actually bunaken is great wall drift diving. just lots of people there. i need to get a macro lense for my camera for lembeh. it is a small wide-angle rig. 28 mm to 113 mm in 35 mm units.
