Dive Review of
Wakatobi in
Indonesia

Dive Conditions

Up to individual to determine their safe diving limits  

Plenty of space in the newly air conditioned camera/charging room.  

Overall Rating

Fantastic resort in very remote area with outstanding diving.  Their claim
for the "world's best house reef" is absolutely true.  Several
new bungalows added, eventually resort will be all bungalows as longhouse
is converted to photo studio/training classrooms.  Food was nothing short
of spectacular especially when you consider the remoteness of the site. 
Generally 3 boat dives per day to nearby sites, longest boat ride was maybe
40 minutes.  Unlimited shore dives on the house reef remainder of day. 
Recent air charter from Bali makes this a very easily reached destination
in comfort.  Overall the coral is in excellent, pristine condition. 
Minimal pelagics but then again you aren't going here to see that sort of
stuff, it's the small critters that are in amazing abundance.  I will
definitely be returning in 2004 to Wakatobi with a group of friends.
