Wakatobi Dive Resort
August 10-20, 2012*

The Ultimate Dive Vacation Experience!
Y-kiki Divers has booked 10 days at the award-winning Wakatobi Dive Resort located in Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia.

During our stay, we'll enjoy a level of service, remoteness and tranquility rarely found anyswhere else on the planet. Home of the world's most pristine reefs, Wakatobi offers what many claim to be the "best diving in the world."

We've initially booked 14 spaces with the option to add to our original booking. *Please note that the booked dates do not include air travel time or required overnights in Bali on each end of the trip. Extended stays in Bali on the return are an option that can be addressed once we have access to air space, sometime in mid-October 2011.

Resort amenities include:

The resort features gourmet dining. Meals are an international blend combining Indonesian delicacies and flavors with dishes from around the world. For those that are adventurous there are exotic dishes and for those looking for comfort foods those are available as well. There are always multiple choices of starters, main courses and desserts.

In addition, Wakatobi has a spa area that can offer you a variety of treatments to make your stay even more enjoyable. Start your day with a pleasant morning back message or after a long day of diving get a deep tissue message to relax those strained muscles. Need a body scrub, manicure or pedicure? Their experienced spa staff are fully-trained and ready to serve you. You deserve it!

Garden Bungalows
These very comfortable bungalows are located slightly behind and in-between the front-row Beach Bungalows amidst beautiful palm trees and other tropical plants. Available both on the south and west section of the Resort. Some garden bungalows even have ocean view.

Diving
Wakatobi Dive Resort offers three different types of diving: boat diving on one of their specially designed, locally-crafted dive boats, shore diving on their 3-mile long house reef and taxi boat diving to the further points of the house reef. You can participate in any one or all three of these options on any given dive day. The choice is completely up to you, based on what your desire is for that given day. They also offer night diving (unguided) on the house reef and 1-2 guided boat night dives.

Wakatobi is blessed with more than 43 mapped and named dive sites all within a short distance of the main resort. Check out the resort's dive site map for full descriptions of sites.
