The diving
Wakatobi was created to deliver the ultimate dive experience and was established following an extensive search to identify the perfect location for a dive resort in terms of geography, climate, oceanic topography and marine biodiversity. Wakatobi is located at the world’s epicenter of coral reef biodiversity. New and undocumented species continue to be discovered at Wakatobi. Wakatobi is CCR friendly. The highly qualified and professional dive staff is second to none with each dive guide having 3,000+ dives.
The resort
You will enjoy the tranquility and secluded location of Wakatobi; no traffic noise, no pollution, no other dedicated dive resort for hundreds of miles. You will discover that, despite its remote location, Wakatobi offers a very civilized existence. Each hand-crafted villa and bungalow is spacious, quiet, comfortable and just a few steps from the ocean. All are air-conditioned with wi-fi satellite internet access, along with comprehensive amenities. All your meals and snacks (chef-prepared in the beachside restaurant) are included throughout your stay.

Bali add-on
If you sign up for this trip, you will have the option to join us in Bali a few days earlier than the October 8 flight to Wakatobi. When we did this in 2018, we had the opportunity to:
- Explore the Mason Elephant Park and Lodge.
- Visit the Mason Gourmet Chocolate Factory.
- Explore several Hindu temples and Pagodas.
- Experience the rice paddies of Tega Lalang.
This time, we want to do even more, such as take an ATV quad bike ride through the jungle.
We are still working out the details for this adventure, but if you are interested, let us know.
