Dive Review of
Wakatobi in
Indonesia/Wakatobi

Around the world and back again first time to Wakatobi.

Dive Conditions

Time limited to 70 minutes but adaquate for air consumption.  

Small camera room but adaquate, computer for downloads but extremely
limited access to internet, one had to be up early or bring own computer.
Access was limited to early morning. Seems staff could take over and
eliminate outside access to limited few. Seems strang in todays world of
easy access almost everywhere  

Overall Rating

Good diving conditions IE the boat was excellent with the right
accomdations, the island staff was extremely attentive to ones requests
while diving. However I surfaced early and no one noticed swam back to boat
was not picked up. Not a good experience for beginners. The dive breifings
were lacking in that dive masters would indicate that one should keep the
track to ones left or right shoulder when a compass heading would be more
representive of the map they would post for the dive. In most cases the
compass headings were on the map but when asked no one seemed concerned
regarding what the headings where! Visibility sucked over the 10 days the
best visibility was at tops 60 feet. Not at all what I was expecting. I
would perfer a better breifing. The dive staff could do a much better job
1)They could send out a diver just before the boats left each morning
reporting what the currents were and there direction all dive sites had tie
points and were well know to the instructors.
