Comments	I definitely recommend using their VIP service to expedite your transfer through Bali to Wakatobi. We arrived late at night and were met by VIP service who handled our bag transfer to the hotel in Bali. Next morning they met us for a full day of touring Bali and took us back to the hotel for the night. Next morning they picked us and our bags up for trip to airport where they escourted us through check-in and security and led us to the VIP lounge to wait for the plane to Wakatobi (another 2.5 hour flight). At the airfield there we were met by staff who took our bags and us and loaded on one of their large boats for the 15 min ride to the resort. All well done and beyond our expectations. The departure went about the same way, but with just the day in Bali touring before flying home. Diving was beyond belief and convinced us everything we had been told was true. The staff and food were 5 star, as was the dive shop operation, camera room, spa etc. Our only negative experience came from one of the owners kids being at the resort with little supervision until after two days of complaints from guests and then just a little improvement. It is expensive to get to from US and high priced to visit but worth every cent. It needs to be on your bucket list. Water temps were colder than normal for that time of year, as were currents.

UW Photo Comments	Large water buckets, large camera/dry table. Careful handling of equipment by dive staff. They would take your cameras to the boat for you as well. Best camera room I've seen anywhere.
