Wakatobi Diving Holidays: An Overview
Sulawesi is near the top of all divers' bucket lists and Wakatobi offers a luxurious way to experience this incredible part of the world whether on board the boat, Pelagian, or from land.
The location of Wakatobi could not be more exotic, hanging like an earring off the southern tip of Sulawesi in the Banda Sea. To make it easier and also to give you a great two-centre holiday, you have to route through Bali, not exactly a hardship and a wonderful excuse to stay at one of the incomparable hotels to be found there en-route.
When it comes to the diving in Wakatobi it is difficult to know where to start. How about 400 species of coral and 700 species of fish officially recorded, not in Indonesia generally, but here in Wakatobi. A further statistic, a yardstick used by marine biologists to establish the health and diversity of the reef, is the number of species of butterflyfish encountered. The highest count we can find is 40, and that is here in Wakatobi. There's not much more to be said. Well there is, it has the reputation of having the best house reef in the world, rightly so.
You can stay at the resort and do daily boat diving from land as well as unlimited shore diving, or you could choose to join their liveaboard, Pelagian to head to some of the dive sites further afield. Whatever you want, we can help you to arrange it.
