Comments	[None]I had wanted to experience Wakatobi at a different time of year having been there twice in Dec, so this July-Aug trip was the chance. Windier and more chop, but no current to speak of. The water and shore were clear of plastic, which is a problem in Dec due to monsoons elsewhere. I did 15 dives with Marizza, who was absolutely fantastic helping me with my e q problems. If you need a private guide, she is beyond great! The dives were filled with tiny nudies, flatworms, and amazing coral life. Hairy squat lobsters in crinoids, pederson's shrimp sharing a bubble coral with orangutang crab, leaf scorpion fish, mantis, pistol and octopus. Some larger fish, but not anything really big, but three pinnate bats, one being cleaned. Snorkelling was excellent just off their jetty. Food is much above average for a resort, let alone one so remote, and the staff was, as usual, friendly and superb! If you have any issues, such as ear problems or inability to carry heavy equipment, this is the place to dive, as they will make sure to accomodate your needs
