Comments	Fantastic resort in very remote area with outstanding diving. Their claim for the "world's best house reef" is absolutely true. Several new bungalows added, eventually resort will be all bungalows as longhouse is converted to photo studio/training classrooms. Food was nothing short of spectacular especially when you consider the remoteness of the site. Generally 3 boat dives per day to nearby sites, longest boat ride was maybe 40 minutes. Unlimited shore dives on the house reef remainder of day. Recent air charter from Bali makes this a very easily reached destination in comfort. Overall the coral is in excellent, pristine condition. Minimal pelagics but then again you aren't going here to see that sort of stuff, it's the small critters that are in amazing abundance. I will definitely be returning in 2004 to Wakatobi with a group of friends.
