Wow, only 1 hr 10 minutes layover in Frankfurt, or 1 hr in Seoul. Is that enough time to get through customs & immigration and catch the next flight?

Don't know about Franfurt but it's plenty of time in Seoul. I only had 55 minutes in Seoul and had no problems.

The routing I got from our consolidator was via Frankfort and they always book routes that will accommodate the time needed. Translation...yes its plenty of time.

The average water temperature year-round in Lembeh is as follows:

Jun-Sep 79F
Oct-May 82F


The average air temperature year-round in Lembeh is as follows:

81-88F

Ok I can get April 25 to May 7th or Feb 16 to 28th. It will be the same price which is $1750 for 10 nites 8 days diving or $100 off for early booking discount or $1650. Air is a bit higher in April...so far about $40-60.

If I do this trip in Feb we will skip a trip in April. If I do this trip in April we'll skip a trip in Feb UNLESS I find a close to home really sweet deal.

So is anyone interested in EITHER of these dates to Lembeh Straits?

(And yes we will officially being doing either Bunaken or Lembeh as the add-on trip to Maldives because INDONESIA IS THAT GREAT and you can't beat these prices.)

I am interested and available for the April trip. Ed

Ok one firm vote for April....

[WreckWench]

Anyone else interested in Lembeh for next year? Or should I just book it and you all will come???

[ScubaDawg]

Kamala, I would possibly be interested in the Feb timetable, I may be in the philippines or the Singapore area around Feb 18th or 19th and would do flight separately out of Manila or Singapore and perhaps come in a day later depending on some plans that arent firmed up yet. I will check back to this thread to see what date you come up with. April doesnt work for me. Karen

[WreckWench]

Thank you Karen...

One Vote for Feb
One Vote for April


Or is it too soon as someone suggested for people to do a bigger trip like this?

[MetriRN]

I'd be into it for the late April/early May timeframe.

[WreckWench]

Excellent! Thanks for another vote!

[doctock993]

I'm interested, but the specific dates are tough for both Feb and April.
Any way to either start on a monday or end on a friday?

These dates coincide with the flight options and availability of taking the entire resort plus other travel committments during Feb and April of 2012...however I will look to see if we can chg them and you can always add a day or two on the front end or backend to make the dates work better for you.
