Wakatobi Dive Resort is located on the beautiful tropical island of Onemobaa in the remote and peaceful Tukang Besi Archipelago in southeast Sulawesi. The luxurious Pelagian liveaboard is owned and operated by the resort and explores the Wakatobi islands, with up to four dives per day to explore the pristine reefs and amazing topography of the wider region.
Guests can spend their time entirely in resort, embark solely on a seven night liveaboard or enjoy a combination of both as in the trip idea below.
Both the resort and liveaboard operate to a set schedule throughout the year. Single travellers may be able to share a room, avoiding single supplements.
