 WAKATOBI ISLAND
Wakatobi

(Identification)
Wakatobi is the name of an archipelago and regency in Sulawesi Tenggara, Indonesia. The name of Wakatobi is
derived from the names of the main islands in the archipelago: Wangiwangi, Kaledupa, Tomea, and Binangko.
Do you know what? It is the best diving sites ever.

(Description)
There are many reasons why I call Wakatobi as the best diving sites ever. First, the reefs in Wakatobi diving are
unlike others in the region because of the dry climate and uplifted limestone. This means Wakatobi is an
exceptionally clean environment due to the lack of soil erosion. Second, being a national park, fishing is strictly
limited and the reefs of Wakatobi are protected. These superb reefs are supported and protected by the local
fishing communities who obtain a fair share of the income generated by Wakatobi dive tourism in exchange for
adopting more sustainable practices, such as leaving large stretches of reef completely untouched. Third,
Wakatobi is located at the world’s coral reef triangle center with its 942 fish species and 750 coral reef species
from a total of 850 world's collection comparing to the two world's famous diving center of the Caribbean Sea
that owes only 50 species and other 300 species in the red sea.
