Comments	The weather is purported to be rainey, etc. in March. However, we found March to be an ideal time to go. The rainey season was ending and the hills were a spectacular green! The little rain we encountered did nothing to spoil our dives. Wakatobi has been rumored to be run by "enviro-nazis" so I was pleasantly surprised by the more pragamatic attitude of the Pelagian staff. (Don't misunderstand . . . trashing the environment was not allowed, but they weren't overbearing about it). Cabins 4 and 6 are VERY SMALL. Cabins 3 and 5 have room for 3 comfortably. Cabin 2 is VERY Spacious, as is cabin 1. The electric generator is up front, so cabin 2 is quietest. It's hard to find any fault with this well run operation. Fresh cookies or bread and hot towels awaited us after every dive. Bring ear drops. I missed two days of diving from an external ear infection. The great staff may be willing to launder your clothes.

UW Photo Comments	There was a shortage of charging outlets, but we soon sorted that out once we realized that our chargers worked on 220V which was supplied in our room.
