Description

Join the Scuba.com Crew at Wakatobi, a dive resort in southeastern Sulawesi, Indonesia. In a tranquil island setting far from crowds and cities, with no other divers for at least 100 miles, Wakatobi seamlessly blends five-star amenities and civilized comforts with a pristine natural environment; a pairing that has secured its reputation as one of the world’s finest diving and snorkeling destinations.

Diving Highlights

Wakatobi was created with the vision to deliver the ultimate dive experience and was established following an extensive search to identify the perfect location for a dive resort in terms of geography, climate, oceanic topography and marine biodiversity. To ensure its future, Wakatobi Resort created one of the world’s largest privately protected marine reserves.

Located at the world's epicenter of coral reef biodiversity, Wakatobi is a designated UNESCO Marine Biosphere Reserve hosting more than 40 dive sites offering a diving experience unlike anywhere else.

Enjoy daily boat dives and access to the resort's house reef for easy shore dives at your convivence. Wildlife encounters may include:

  • Hawksbill Turtles
  • Green Turtles
  • Napoleon Fish
  • Canary Crabs
  • Reef Fish
  • Barrier Coral Reef

Why Wakatobi?

The entire Wakatobi region has been turned into a sustainable protected marine park. The local village and surrounding communities have enthusiastically adopted the conservation plan and as a result, illegal fishing, reef walking, and other activities detrimental to the coral reef have been halted.

A portion of the resort's proceeds from your visit goes back to the community to sustain and support the protection of the reefs and living in harmony with and in respect of the coral reef ecosystem.
