December 8-22, 2009: Wakatobi, Indonesia
Indonesia Diving by Land & Sea: Wakatobi & The Pelagian in One Trip!
Go Into the Drink with LiquidAssets.tv in the World's Most Prolific Marine Eco-System

Wakatobi is a destination that caters to divers and nature-lovers looking for world-class diving far from crowds and commercialism – off the beaten path. The intimate, eco-friendly resort is located in the Wakatobi archipelago in remote southeastern Sulawesi, Indonesia, where it is the only fully licensed dive tourism operator. The resort itself is situated on a small island locally called Onemobaa. The island is beside Tomia Island, one of four major islands covering an area of 821 square kilometers. The beautiful resort is built directly at the seaside, with all bungalows spaced along an exquisite beach. The recently remodeled world-renowned Pelagian explores the outer reaches of the Wakatobi region and provides guests with even more great diving and marine life diversity. When it comes to value, few, if any, live-aboards around the world can boast the comfort and level of personalized attention found on Wakatobi's premier live-aboard. You get to enjoy the best of land and sea, Wakatobi and the Pelagian, during one, once-in-a-lifetime dive vacation.
