Best Dive Service Anywhere

“This is our 5th group we have brought to Wakatobi. It gets better each time we are here. Great diving, great service, great food & accommodation. Love the hammock and patio. The list of great qualities is extensive from the amazing staff, excellent food, wonderful accommodations, spacious dive boats to the world class diving. The dive service for gear handling is the best anywhere. It makes those of us leading diving groups look like heroes! Can’t wait until our next visit.”

The Most Fun Dive Boats

“We had a wonderful time! We enjoyed the diving, food, and most of all the people! You all took such great care of all of us, and we really appreciate everything. The dive boats were some of the most fun we’ve been on. We were a rowdy, snarky group who appreciated our dive guides’ humor. We also appreciate the village folks allowing us to visit their homes. We definitely will recommend to our friends and come back.”

Every Dive Was Special

“We have heard great things about Wakatobi and Pelagian. I was not disappointed. The staff are all so friendly and accommodating. The divemasters have great knowledge of the reefs and made each dive special. We felt well taken care of, both during the dives and before and after each dive. The staff did a great job handling all the dive equipment, making it almost effortless to go diving.”

Best Dive Experience Ever

“In 2000 dives over 30 years this was the best diving and dive experience we have ever had! The resort exceeded expectations everywhere! The meeting in the airport upon arrival in Bali set the tone for a remarkable visit. Service from everyone was top notch. everyone is friendly and knows our names.

The accommodations were spacious and well appointed. The meals were quality and artfully prepared. Restaurant staff went out of their way to be accommodating. The dive team is well organized and attentive. The boats are expansive and never crowded. The hot wash towel & dry towel between dives were much appreciated. Our guide was exceptional – fun & professional & catered our dives to requests for macro creatures. Eight Pigmy Seahorses and one fan he spotted!  He took every opportunity to educate us about what we were seeing and answered our endless questions. Thank you for everything! We cannot wait to come back!”

Completely Spoiled Me

“This resort has completely spoiled me in terms of ever returning to past dive sites/countries. The staff put in remarkable effort to remember not only your name, but how you like to eat/dive/suit up, everything! I loved being able to do 4 dives a day and not feel frantic about how to make that happen. The attention provided by everyone was stellar. I can’t say enough about our dive guide, so patient, so knowledgeable, and if he didn’t immediately know the answer to a question, he’d go find someone who did. All staff treated older people like a well-loved relative, anticipating a helping hand being needed. I am truly touched by this showing of care, and kindness. The groundskeepers, the sand art guys, the restaurant staff, the front desk, the boutique, the taxi guys, and the boat guys, everyone endeavored to make my stay indelible. hat I envisioned as a once-in-a-lifetime experience may well become a yearly one!

PS: The food is too good! One should not gain weight on a dive trip.”

Exceeded Our Highest Expectations

“Our experience at Wakatobi Resort and on the Pelagian was phenomenal! The diving was beautiful. Reefs were incredibly healthy and diverse. The dive guides and crew were very helpful, capable, and fun to talk to. All the staff were friendly and caring. Our trip exceeded our highest expectations for accommodations, food, and helpfulness of the entire staff. Thank you! We look forward to returning soon.”

All A+

“This is the first place we’ve stayed that we literally have no recommendations to improvements for the diving experience. The Staff, resort and management were all A+.  Thank you for a wonderful 17 nights, we will miss the staff most of all.”
