Everything to make your diving hassle-free

Remote doesn’t mean Spartan. We cater to air, nitrox, and rebreather users as well as snorkelers and freedivers with comprehensive support facilities. And if you like to travel light, we offer a full range of premium quality gear for rental including regulators, masks, fins, dive computers, BCDs and torches.

Dedicated Professional Dive Staff

Our highly qualified professional dive staff are second to none in the industry. All of our dive guides have an average of 3,000 dives each. Your safety, comfort, and enjoyment is their utmost concern. Regardless of your skill level, they will take the time to make sure you have a great time cruising the reefs. For advanced divers, we also have instructor-level guides with cave diving and rebreather specialties. And naturally, all of our guides know the reefs of Wakatobi like the back of their hand. If there’s a critter you have always wanted to see (like a pygmy seahorse?) they will know the place to find it.

Support for Nitrox divers

We operate two state-of-the-art Nitrox Technologies membrane systems fed by multiple water-cooled Bauer compressors.

Dive courses including nitrox certification

Longer bottom times, shorter surface intervals, less fatigue. These are among the many benefits of diving Nitrox, a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen in which the concentration of oxygen is greater than that found in air. You’ve no doubt heard of Nitrox, probably know divers who use it. Using Nitrox safely requires special training and certification.

Wakatobi Resort is associated with PADI, SDI & TDI. You can chose any Nitrox course option (minimum age 15) as long as you hold any kind of open water diving license – the licenses are recognized by all diving associations. Advanced Nitrox certification is also available as well as Open Water. (find out more)
