Comments	Wakatobi is excellent in all aspects: 2 hour charter flight from Bali to the resort, spacious beach bungalows with 2 double beds, large buffet meals served at ocean front restaurant, lots of outdoor seating options, 3 70 minute boat dives each day + shore dives, huge comfy dive boats, crew carries & sets up all your gear & even checks your nitrox. A larger tank will be supplied if needed. I didn't hear any complaints concerning dive guides so I feel all guides were excellent. There is a jetty bar for the sunset crowd. There really is nothing bad to report about this entire operation, You are completely taken care of from the time you arrive in Bali thru your stay at the resort & your return to Bali airport or hotel. So if divers are nervous about a far flung international dive trip this location is for you. This was an Island Dreams group trip...one of many Ken has brought to Wakatobi over the years. I was here 5 years ago & hope to return again.
