Conservation - A new approach
Wakatobi Conservation Philosophy
Wakatobi is about something more than just a great diving experience. Our mission from day one was to establish a dive resort that gave divers a sense of well-being that they are helping contribute to an environmentally and culturally sound conservation program. So it's not an accident that we established the Wakatobi Collaborative Reef Conservation Program, which is now one of the world's largest privately-funded marine protected areas.

While you are enjoying a superb diving vacation, you are helping us ensure that the marine wonders in the area will be around for the future. More ....
