Comments We had a wonderful 10 day trip to wakatobi. From the meetup and breakfast at the bali airport, wakatobi takes great care of you. The entire team learn your name and take great care of you throughout the day. Meals were on time and delicious, dive operations were well run and we had one divemaster for our group of four. Our gear was handled and washed daily after the dive. After the two morning dives lunch was ready and the room was clean and fresh. The bungalows had international plugs and were well setup for the 10 days. We loved the enclosed outdoor shower and the spacious front deck facing the ocean. The boats were roomy and comfortable.
Yes, it’s a grueling trip from California to Wakatobi but well worth the time and expense. A special thanks to our divemaster Andrea who clearly loves his job and loves pointing out all the special creatures.
