![]() I like to think about it with context and relative terms. With that said, it's not a small amount of money and I'm not oblivious to that. (I think when we went to Bangka it was $1900 for 7 days but that's definitely not remote and super close to mainland so that feels pretty in line given the circumstances.) Their 2024 rates are about $200 more than their 2023 rates. I know you don't usually do 3 boat dives per day so if you did 2 plus optional night dives that's $4500 for 2 weeks, so about $2250 a week which is quite reasonable. If you can buddy up with someone, it will remove the single supplement and bring it down significantly.By like $1000+. I will say it's especially a chunk after enjoying Tulamben with you - the value proposition was pretty incredible there and I can see why you love it so much because I do, too. (I'm not talking super budget options or super luxury options either.) Usually, liveaboards go for $3000-3500 for a week in many parts of the world, including Komodo/Raja Ampat and barring some exceptions like the Red Sea, Thailand, Philippines which on average have lower diving costs across the board or areas with much higher averages like the Galapagos. Papua Explorers in Raja Ampat (less remote, more options) is slightly more or about the same as that per week as are many liveaboards for a week. ![]() Click to expand.That's the single cost.Darn you, single supplement! At $3K per week, it isn't astronomical given the place/context.(enter Wakatobi, stage left!).
