Thanks, I missed that. But was also hoping to see user experiences.

I just got back from diving Raja Ampat last week. Was on Pulau Pef (raja4divers) with Claudia and Leon.
Trip report and pics shortly, but in short - it was awesome. The resort and the diving was fantastic.

Being that close to "The Passage" was definately a big plus. Did multiple dives there - couldnt get enough. Truly unique.

If you have some folk with you that arent diving - then there is snorkleing , kayaking, hike up the cliff for great views, birds of paradise side trip, fireflies at night, WiFi .... etc. Options not usually available on a Raja liveaboard.

That is a strange itinerary! Wonderful diving all around, but logistically a nightmare. I think that there is a 12 hour time zone difference between Costa Rica and Micronesia, so i wouldnt consider them to be on the same side of the world. But a round the world ticket might work.

I would suggest however, that you consider checking out the more famous islands within Micronesia that others have suggested. Truk, Yap and especially Palau for the jelly fish lake. Thats pretty unique.

If you want to spend more time in that neck of the woods, then head over to Indonesia. Raja Ampat, Komodo, Lembeh and Bali - im sure they wont disapoint.
