September 24 - October 4, 2027 Skill Level: Intermediate Wakatobi Dive Resort Trip Leader: Andy Hawk Wakatobi Dive Resort was one of the first dive resorts in Indonesia to adopt ecotourism and ocean conservation. The connection between the local community and preserving the surrounding marine ecosystem was obvious. The founders realized that the most effective way to protect these prolific reefs was to work with the local villages to establish common ground. Located in south Sulawasi, Indonesia, Wakatobi remains one of the most sought-after dive resorts in the world. Everything the Coral Triangle has to offer can be found here: blue ring octopus, cuttlefish, bobtail squid, nudibranchs, healthy reefs, deep walls, fields of turtle grass, pelagics and pygmy seahorses. If that is not enough the accommodations and hospitality of this exquisite resort will remind you that perfection does exist. A private, chartered flight from Bali brings you to this paradise where you can relax and forget about life for a while!
