Dive Information
Dive Overview
Nowhere else can you access miles of pristine reefs with such ease, featuring diverse topography, life, and highlights like at Wakatobi. In other locations, good dive sites may be scattered over large areas, requiring long and arduous boat journeys. But at Wakatobi, you can find all of these sites right at your doorstep.
The world-famous house reef is a diver's paradise, and some guests never leave it, finding enough territory and diversity to explore for several days. Wakatobi offers "taxi-boat" services to transport you to and from different parts of the house reef.
Experience a new dimension in diving with fluorescence, where fish suddenly speak and coral communicates in a totally new light. Night diving at Wakatobi is fantastic, with one or two night dives offered from the boats (depending on trip length and weather). You can also dive any night on the house reef in front of the resort with an unguided buddy team.
Wakatobi has over 40 sites regularly dived, all accessible by day boats ranging from 10 minutes to an hour for the farthest sites. Their Private Dive Experience Manager program offers personalized resort diving tailored to your individual needs.
The entire Wakatobi region is now a sustainable protected marine park, with the local village and surrounding communities enthusiastically adopting conservation plans. Your payment for staying and diving at Wakatobi goes back to the community to sustain and support this new way of living, in harmony with and respect for the coral reef ecosystem.
Marine Life
Wakatobi is located at the world’s epicenter of coral reef biodiversity and is designated a UNESCO Marine Biosphere Reserve. This means that while diving at Wakatobi you can see the greatest variety and diversity of marine life. You’ll not only see beautiful vistas or pristine coral reefs, but also abundant colorful reef fish and rare and unusual cryptic ‘critters’. New and undocumented species continue to be discovered at Wakatobi.
There are other locations where you can see larger schools of fish, bigger animals and experience more adrenaline-filled underwater ‘rides’, but for sheer reef scenery and marine life variety, you won’t be disappointed with a diving holiday at Wakatobi.
