Comments	We had read good reports about Wakatobi in Undercurrent, but we were not impressed with the diving. The resort and dive operations were expertly run, but there was not much to see except macro, as the reefs are serverly overfished. The wall diving got tedious, as they all had the same to offer, stong currents and minimal fish. The typical dive day consisted of a 2 tank AM dive, returning at 12:30PM - 1PM, lunch, then a 1 tank dive at 2:15 ish, returning at 4:30 ish, this made it difficult to get in a 4th dive on the house reef. Night dives were offered twice in the 10 day trip, although you could dive the house reef at night if you wanted. We had EXCEPTIONAL service and accomodations, but the diving would not entice us to return.
