South Sulawesi, Indonesia is in the heart of the Coral Triangle and boasts some of the highest levels of marine biodiversity in the world. Miles and miles of pristine reef surround this small island, offering unlimited opportunities to encounter unusual & exquisite creatures. Wakatobi’s house reef is considered one of the finest dive sites in the world and is literally right off the beach. Enjoy a full day of diving off the spacious dive boats and then take a leisurely dusk dive after a short swim from the shore. Blue ring octopus have been found in the turtle grass right below the pier! Cuttlefish, rhinopias scorpionfish, pygmy seahorses, ornate ghost pipefish, countless nudibranchs.. these are all frequently sighted at this unique destination!
