I believe in Raja the only land based operation is the Sorido Resort....I'm headed there in 2 weeks.

I stayed at Tawali Resort. It was beautiful and the diving pristine, incredible

Yes, you are right and I didn't notice but it came up in a search and as it is now quite visible on the list and recently updated, others will probably have the same question and might find the info useful. I've had one trip to each to PNG, RA and the Solomons and I prefer PNG. I was in Tufi which was 5 day, land based while the others were 10 day liveaboards. I saw a wider range of life, had remarkable crystal clear visibility, and a lot of the dives were down the walls of Bommies which meant an amazing, prolonged safety stop at the top of the bommies which were teeming with fish, from Napoleon Wrasses and Titan Triggers down to the smallest and covered with amazing corals and creatures. Tufi also has amazing muck diving.
