Que I will put you down for 18 days on the Notify list with the understanding it is dependent on the dive itinerary. 
The Damaii II got their a/c fixed! Heard so many positive things about this boat. I would be interested depending on the route for the trips snd would like to see Crendawashe Bay (spelling?) Included. 18 days won't be enough to dive Raja
Everyone knows me

Hi Que -
Trying to pick out an exact route for each trip is difficult, but usually trips to Cenderwasih Bay [if Sorong is on the beak of the 'Bird's Head' pointing west, then the bay forms the back of the head & neck - to the east] are separate trips. The southern boundary of Raja Ampat is considered to be the Misool area, the northern boundary is the equator. On my trip, Mar. 2013, the most easterly point of travel was Sorong harbor, the trip began with a late afternoon check dive in the mouth of the harbor, overnite we travelled to the Misool area, where we stayed for 4 days, before heading north for Aljui Bay [the northern most point 130.15.423E, 00.11.328S] where we spent the final 5 days diving the west and southern side of Waisai, the north side of Dampier Strait.
You would think with such a large area to dive, you might never see another liveaboard, but one day in the Misool area I counted 8 liveaboards!! Much of the area around Misool Eco Resort, is controlled by the resort, the boats are required to check in with the resort, and they decide where & when you dive. There were 3 boats moored in Aljui Bay, the day we spent there. I've overheard conversations between cruise directors, trying to work together so each could take a turn at coveted sites.
I've spent a total of 30 days diving in Raja Ampat, I'd love to dive more, but I've got other locations on my bucket list [it's as bad as my ex-wife's to-do list, it just keeps growing!!!].

Please keep me posted on this trip. I REALLY want to go!
Ive never been able to get on a trip. Do you send email notification to my personal email or do I need to check here daily?
Thanks!
Hi Claudia! We put you on the Notification list and when the trip opens for booking we FIRST notify Premier and above members such as yourself via Private Message, which generates a New PM notification to your email address registered with your profile. This gives our subscribed member the very first notice to book ahead of regular members, who are notified via their registered email address... just a little later on. 
Just another way Membership Pays! (Plus we require all attendees to subscribe Premier or higher in order to access the PM feature for instructions and priveate trip only discussions.)
So ensure your email address is up to date: Log in, click the small down arrow in the top right corner next to your Screen Name, click My Settings and look for the Email tab in the Settings window. While there we recommend you review other info such as phone, street address, full name 
etc. in the Profile Information tab.Be sure to click SAVE at the bottom of the Settings page! 
P.S, Yes you are ON the Notify List!
