Comments This was my second trip to Wakatobi, the first was 12 years ago. It took too long to get back there.
My fears were that the expectations I had set were not going to be lived up to., however that was not the case at all.
The diving is better than pristine, the resort is 7 star on a 5 star system, the people are an 11 on a 1-10 scale.

1 dive master to a max of 4 divers, both on the resort and on the Pelagian.

From the time we landed in Bali to the time we left, Wakatobi representatives were there to help us.
We spent 1 week on the resort and 1 week on the Pelagian.
