Wakatobi is 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.  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 they then created one of the world’s largest privately protected marine reserves. That gives you some idea of the extent to which they will go and the attention to detail that goes into every aspect of the Wakatobi experience!  Having identified the premier location, they developed a resort that, despite its remote position, offers a plenitude of facilities and comforts to make a dive trip, and all that surrounds it, an experience that you will cherish!

You’ve reached the ocean floor and pinnacles tower above you as schools of fish race by. You’re surrounded by walls of vibrant colors. You’ve never seen anything quite like it. You continue your journey through the garden of coral excited about what you’ll see next. After every dive you’ll come up saying “DID YOU SEE THAT??”.

Indonesia is made up of over 17,000 islands, some inhabited and many not. Each with its own unique charms and qualities. The islands are nestled between the Indian and Pacific oceans and span Southeast Asia and Oceania. Indonesia is the largest archipelagic state in the world.

The largest islands in Indonesia are Sumatra, Java, Borneo, Sulawesi and New Guinea. The capital and largest city in Indonesia is Jakarta, which lies on the northwest coast of Java.

The diving in Indonesia is unlike anywhere else in the world. Indonesia sits in the heart of the coral triangle with over 17,000 islands, making it the epicenter of biodiversity! The waters around these islands are home to tiny seahorses, colorful nudibranchs, majestic mantas, and so much more. There is something for everyone!

The diving is just as diverse as the animals. Divers can enjoy thrilling drift dives, night dives, colorful reef dives, wall dives, unique muck dives and wreck dives. With the abundance of marine life and diving, Indonesia is a diver’s paradise!
