Overall Rating

This trip was wonderful.  Both of us (diver and snorkeler) were impressed
with service, quality of reefs, interesting people, wonderful
"house" reef and the location of the resort.  From the moment we
arrived in customs in Bali (the day before the charter to the resort) we
were taken care of.  The charter flight was great, the facilities and staff
were wonderful and the dive staff was professional, available, but not
overbearing in any way.  A friend was along with us who hadn't been diving
in a while and she received a little extra attention whenever she needed
it.  The diving was interesting, and with Wakatobi's dedication to working
with local villages to provide resources as an alternative to overfishing,
we trust that fish life will continue to get better.  We heard some of the
other divers talking about seeing a school of more than 10 juvenile silver
tips, a harbinger of healthy reefs and more large fish to come.  Also there
was a huge school jacks on the house reef, along with many other
interesting fish to see (pygmy seahorses, leaf fish, frog fish, ribbon
eels, etc.)  We loved the trip so much we immediately booked a return
visit, as did our friend and two other people who were there at the same
time.  Make sure to spend some time in Bali; we had a wonderful
guide/driver.
