The comment about crime in the area does not seem applicable, my wife and I did a lot of walking around at both day and night and met nothing but wonderful people. Took large laps in several of the local Microlets, and up to the market, again just more friendly people.
We always parked the dingy in the Maritime Police area and that just kept the kids from playing in the dingy rather than any worry about it. Definitely check out the Resistance Museum, very educational for $1 entrance fee and will give you a lot of info about the people around you. Checking in, the harbour master was in a temporary office further down than where Immigration was.
Also, checking OUT you visit Quarantine, we paid $77 for about two weeks in a 40′ boat, not sure how the fee was calculated, but seemed legit and got a receipt that the Harbor Master needed to give me the clearance papers.
Visit Occuse, it is as nice as described in the “related reports” section. If you need help getting you Indonesian Visas you can meet Kim at Dili Central Backpackers and for a fee, she was able to get the sponsor letter and full visas turned around in about 4 days.

RMS Engineering and Construction
They made an emergency shoe for our skeg while there at a cost of about $250 US. They also can polish FUEL with a very new and modern machine. Nice Australian chaps. To get there, go PAST Timor Plaza, go over the bridge.
On right-hand side 2 small streets past bridge, get off and look up and see sign RMS at the head of the road. Its a good mile+ down this road. Bear right when the road seems to dead end at a school (or whatever it is).
Follow road to T, take a left at Butcher factory, take a right at the next intersection. Go down 1/4 mile. On the right-hand side, you will see RMS, right past Timor Cafe Company. Ask for the “WORKSHOP”. The guys at the front gate will give you a pass and go find Warren for you. Long walk back out unless you can thumb a ride.
