@carono6333 If you had to pick 2 places to stay for 10 days-2 weeks which ones would It be? I was in October 2023 in Tabari Lodge, as I was going with my husband who requieres some "confort". This time I'm going alone, so I don't mind less confortable homestays. I was thinking about Souls divers or Tarzan divers and then some days in Pam islands, and having visited so many places I would LOVE your advice.

OP
I'm also planning to hit misool for 1 week-10 days (still figuring out this part with local diving homestay) so I thought that maybe hitting 3 places in the remaining days would be too much? It would look like 4 days Gam, 3 days Arborek 4 days Pam or something like this...
OP
Thanks for your reply! How would you compare the diving in Pam islands to central RA? Any special reason that you are recommending Arborek? I love colorful soft corals, lot of fishes. Mantas, and big fish action are a plus, but come second ( I already had an amazing manta interaction previous visit).
OP
Arborek diving is not just mantas... we had some amazing dives with them. Pam islands very different to central area, much more quiet, completely different vibe
At the end, due to ferry schedule it looks like I would only be able to stay 4 days in Misool. After that I'd go to the Pam Islands and Arborek for one week and then Gam for another week.
How do you recommend to split the time? How many days would you dedicate to dive in Pam?

OP
Yes! I'm planning to dive as much as possible !!!Dive every day. Simple
I even scheduling the transfers on Sundays/not diving day. But it is hard to find information of dive sites in Pam apart of the 3-4 more famous ones. How would you Split one week between Pam and Arborek?I'd say 3-4 days in Pam. The diving out there is fantastic. Ive only been liveaboard or by day trip, and to my recollection there is only one local dive op out there , via homestay, mentioned in original post.
