Just six degrees south of the equator, off the southeast coast of Sulawesi, Indonesia lies a tropical dive destination called Wakatobi Dive Resort. Open only five years, this resort is so remote that all but a small percentage of the inhabitants of this area live without electricity, running water or telecommunications. Yet reports of the spectacular diving in this area are spreading throughout the dive community. In this exclusive, five-part CoralRealm feature story, you'll learn what the Wakatobi "buzz" is all about. In addition to learning about the diving and marine life, we've included a CoralRealm overview of the resort facilities. There's also a two page photo gallery containing more than 50 images of typical Wakatobi marine life. Whether you're a diver, marine naturalist, aquarist, or armchair explorer, this article and the accompanying photographs should give you a good sense of the Wakatobi experience.
