'the reefs are perfectly preserved, the colours are rich and the waters clear'
We’ve always enjoyed the feel good factor about diving Wakatobi – the reefs are perfectly preserved, the colours are rich and the waters clear. A typical day is spent gently gliding along a reef wall in gloriously blue water surrounded by brightly coloured reef fish of all kind, it doesn’t get much more relaxing than this.
The reefs here are rich, perhaps some of the most diverse on earth and it shows. Take just a moment to set your eyes on a small patch of reef and you’ll be facing more types of hard and soft corals than you’ll care to count – what’s more it’s all pristine, untouched, as it has been for generations. Eagle rays often cruise the waters whilst black and white tips can be seen patrolling the wall or reef flat. Topside Wakatobi is just as splendid, expect marvellous sunsets, picture perfect white sand beaches and swaying coconut palms – idyllic.
Wakatobi is vast, we’ve been coming back here for a number of years but there’s still plenty to discover. Whether you choose resort or liveaboard the quality of diving will surely meet your high expectations of this remote corner of Indonesia.

In the past the Pelagian was a exploration yacht, used for cruising remote waters and designed to be self sufficient in any circumstance.
