Comments We were last to Wakatobi five years ago and it's every bit as wonderful this trip as last time. Three boat dives a day and unlimited shore diving (currents play into shore diving and in boat diving for that matter)....eat, dive, dive, eat, dive, eat, sleep.....outrageously wonderful...coral knocks your socks off...no big critters except for turtles...dive guides fantastic at finding the smallest of creatures - bring a magnifing glass for sure. Wakatobi folks greet you at the airport and guide you thru the door to your hotel ride and then ultimately to the private plane over to Wakatobi....You receive the same guidance departing...awesome...everyone at the resort knows you name and are the most cordial and gracious folks around. Dive boats are not crowded with no more than four divers to a dive master. Are we going back? you betcha!!! Water viz was a little cloudy looking out into the blue but hey, that's not the fault of the resort !
