Overview
Wangi-Wangi, Kaledupa, Tomia and Binongko are the four islands that make up the region of Wakatobi, which has become synonymous with the resort of the same name, one of the world’s most famous luxury dive resorts. Scuba diving in Wakatobi is a relaxed affair with good, calm conditions and fair weather year-round, making this a very popular destination for keen divers and snorkellers. The focus is very much on pristine reefs and macro life, with a plethora of world class dive sites on the resort’s doorstep, and one of the most famous house reefs in the world. Easily reached via a charter flight from Bali, divers flock to Wakatobi throughout the year to experience diving as it should be; on reefs untouched by coral bleaching. It is a UNESCO Marine Biosphere Reserve meaning that there is a vast variety of marine life and new species are being discovered here still.
