In the process of "thinking" of planning a trip to Wakatobi. Any pros or cons would really help.

You will get a better response if you post this in the Asia forum. You might also want to do a seach in that forum.

Our club in Austin in going in June 2006. I missed the meeting due to work but they have representatives that are local to help you with everything you need to know. We are planning on Bali for at least a day before and two days after. If you are interested PM me and I will get you in touch with our group for more information. I am hoping to arrange my work so that I can let the company pay me to get close. Now I just have to figure the cost of taking my non-diving wife. The place is so pretty I just wouldn't feel right not having her along.
BTW, Sulawesi is much closer to Australia than Asia.
Stephen Frink has just added a 13 page web log of a recent, two weeks ago, trip to Wakatobi on www.scubadiving.com
Its a good read
Its a good read
frogfish:...And Texas much closer to Mexico than Illinois
Quite true. However the illegal immigration problem is shortening that distance from Mexico to Illinois.
BTW, If you ever drop by Deep Sea Fishing HDQ on Beach Rd. tell Joshua and Janice that their UPS Pilot friend said hello and I hope to get back soon.
I love Singapore. It's a FINE city

Yes, but a search in the Asia forum will bring up nine threads with Wakatobi in the title and many more with discussions of Wakatobi:

I just got back from Wakatobi and posted a short report here on the board at this URL http://www.scubaboard.com/showthread.php?t=97356
I stayed on Bali for a few days before and after, and dived both times. (Before at Scuba Seraya in Tulamben, and after at Nusa Penida with Abyss Adventures.) If you are coming from a bunch of time zones away, it's nice to have a bit of time to adjust. Seraya is very laid back with no set schedule, so you dive when and as much as you feel you want to, so that worked very well for me.
For any of you with a trip scheduled to Wakatobi, try to take advantage of the massage offer. It's a bargain, and very nicely done.
