Comments	This was our second trip here- and it even exceeded our expectations from the first time. We did have better weather this time, so the viz was better, and colors more vibrant...reef looks like it is not degrading over the last 4 years. The guides are incredible- there is a guide for every 2-4 divers. They took their time- showing us everything on the reef we couldn't find, and as photographers, we really appreciated that. We were on both the Pelagian, and the resort, and the accommodations are superb, and the food fantastic. Everyone of the staff works very hard to please our every whim. At the resort- we are not resort people- but it is like being on a liveaboard- where they made diving very easy- all gear is set up on the day boats- all you do is bring your camera- check your gear, and go over the side. There is unlimited diving on the house reef. They gave us 100cu ft tanks- our dives were over 90 min each. You can do 4 boat dives. On the Pelagian, the rooms are enormous, boat a luxury yacht- and the crew does all the work with your gear- putting them in the tenders. Just take your mask and fins, hop in- gear up, and in 5 min, you are over the site, and roll in. We enjoy the muck diving they offer in a bay west of Wakatobi on Buton island. We also dive open ocean reefs. You will dive different areas and sites from what you do at the resort. The crews are fantastic. Camera room is huge, and inside the boat. Wakatobi is a trip of a lifetime that we were lucky to do twice. So far, it is the best place we've been- for the diving, food and accommodations- anywhere in the world. We recommend the concierge service- and do spend some time in Bali- Wakatobi has wonderful guides
