Comments We were very well cared for from Bali forward...service is great in all aspects concerning Wakatobi.Our only problem was the weather.It was windy so we really never warmed up between dives even wearing windbreakers/jackets.Water was 79-81.We should have chosen a warmer time of year.Cabins were comfortable with ocean views.Large variety of food at each meal.Diving was very good with lots of fish,critters,nudis,& turtles.The house reef was very good but could be strong current.I hope to return during a warmer time of year which would make it a perfect dive location for me.
