Comments 3rd trip to Wakatobi Resort, 2nd on the Pelagian - not disappointed. Clearly they invested to keep everything in top shape thru Covid so the resort and boat experiences were wonderful. And the staff was amazing - they provided help to those who needed it to get in/out of the water and generally the team easily handled all requests. The diving was terrific - healthy, colorful corals, lots of fish and critters... While you can run into strong currents at Wakatobi, we only ran into them on 2 dives during the 2 weeks of diving we did there.
