The first time I heard of Wakatobi was at the dive expo in Singapore in 2002. I was trawling the expo for deals and places to go dive and ended up at the Wakatobi booth. There we were given a thorough presentation and some documentation about the resort. Later, when I looked at the content it seemed like a nice place, not easy to get to, quite expensive, and quite basic in terms of accommodations.
Over time, I revisited their website to see if there was anything new and see if any specials were on offer. In December 2003 I had the opportunity of taking one month off and as the resort was offering the 2 week trip at the price of the 10 day trip I decided to splurged and go. I combined this trip with a 10-day liveaboard trip in Thailand over Christmas and New Year.
You can read a trip report here.

Anyway let's go and see what we managed to find in the waters of the around wakatobi...........
