Wakatobi offers "Private Diving Services" for the discerning diver
Our Private Dive Guide program represents the ultimate in personalized resort diving - a Private Dive Experience Manager, whose focus is to fulfill your innermost wishes and tailor-make an exclusive, personalised diving experience, to fit your individual needs.
During the week, you and your private dive guide
make plans to return to your favorite dive site to capture some images of exotic marine life.
Sound like a dream? Now you can experience it when you upgrade to Wakatobi's "Private Diving Services" package.
It´s just one more way we demonstrate our commitment to helping you design your own dream dive holiday.
Private Dive Guide Features:
- Private resort orientation with "Personal Dive Guide"
- Arrival and ongoing consultations with Wakatobi Dive Specialist
- Personal dive guide
- Private shore and taxi-diving with your private guide
- Private speedboat for dive to locations of your choice*
With a Private Dive Guide (PDG) you will have a separate, private dive centre orientation and check-in with your PDG. All dive briefings from then on will be done personally at a time and location of your choice. With a PDG you will have a separate welcome dive; the time, location and length of which of to be decided by you, based on your PDG's recommendations. Your very own PDG will be available to dive, discuss and adapt to your preferences from the first moment on.
Feedback from the PDG could be in terms of buoyancy control and dive skills, photography and best sites for your photos, creatures ID and/or specific behaviour and the sites to visit so that you can fulfill your wishes (ie macro/wide angle photos, deep or current dives etc). They will also be with your during the dive to help you avoid leaning on or kicking the reef. You can even use them as a "live tripod" and lean on them while you take your pictures.
Extra benefit: You and your PDGs can now ´float´. This is a new offer and ‘VIP’ guests are now able to choose which boat to join and which sites to visit, based on their PDG´s recommendations (and subject to operational constraints), to give more flexibility and a special, wider selection of diving to choose from. Your PDG will take into account your personal wishes, then recommend which boat/sites, whether to do a house reef or taxi boat dive and when.
Together with your PDG, you will plan your dive schedule separately. You may choose to join the normal, planned boat dives, but you may also adapt - ie dive the first dive by boat, then take a private speedboat to ‘Turkey Beach’ for the second dive, or choose to do a special dive, such as a dawn dive, dusk dive, house reef night dive etc.
Should you choose not to dive, your PDG will remain available to you to join you on tours, a trip to the village, snorkeling or other.
NB: for those who choose only a day or two of private guiding, this level of service will only be applicable for those days and will include a consultation prior to the scheduled days, so the guest can share their wishes and goals. The PDG will be available for up to 4 privately guided dives a day with his/her guests.
For guests with a PDG, there will be a discount on the FLUO DIVING of 25% and on the FISH BEHAVIOUR DISTINCTIVE SPECIALITY COURSE of 25% (more information about this shortly).

-
The experience begins with a presentation about fluorescence (what it means, what is happening, how we see this etc).
- You will see a film and/or media show explaining more.
- This is followed by a thorough briefing about the unique dive you are about to do, the equipment and how and
what you may discover.
- Then, using your own personal near-UV underwater lights and special visor and filters, you will be taken on a private guided (60 min) dive.
The cost for this VIP personal experience is $220 per person for a private, one-on-one experience,
or $320 for a couple - (There will be a maximum ratio of 1:2 at all times). Total duration of the fluo-diving experience
will be approximately 2 hours.
Fluo-diving is for experienced divers with perfect buoyancy and ample night diving experience only.
It is beautiful, stunning, the reef is just glowing... but since vision is more limited than on a normal
night dive, to ensure we protect our pristine coral reefs, management reserves the right to refuse or
insist on further experience, for fluo-diving
We have limited gear and limited availability for this experience. There will not be numerous people in the
water at once. This will be a private, VIP experience - (First come, first served) - 1:1 or 1:2 ratio maximum.
Pre-booking for this experience is required to guarantee a spot during your Wakatobi holiday.
