409 Dive Log Australasia December 24

DAY DIVING AT WAKATOBI

Text & photos Mike Scotland One of the best things about visiting a dive resort is when the dive guide says ‘Do you want to go for a dive straight after lunch on the house reef?’ I love to get straight into it. Drop your bags, grab some lunch and go diving! The house reef became a total surprise. It is very special indeed. The owners at Wakatobi have made an agreement with the local villagers on all of the islands in the area to provide several levels of protection for the reef near the resort. Beautiful and deadly Reef Stonefish in three metres lies in ambush.
