Why dive here
With 238+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, giant moray eels, pygmy seahorses, seahorses and sperm whales - Wakatobi House Reef offers some of Sulawesi's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest June, October, November.
Wakatobi’s House Reef is a pretty solid spot to get your feet wet, literally, and it’s right off the resort jetty. We've spent plenty of hours here, and it's always a good call for an easy afternoon dive or a night dive to find something different. You’ll find some really healthy hard coral, plenty of staghorn, and we’ve spotted plenty of pygmy seahorses tucked into gorgonian fans if you know where to look. It’s also one of those places where mandarin fish reliably show up at dusk, which is always a treat. The seagrass beds are home to some fascinating creatures, too, like the occasional cuttlefish or crab. It’s a gentle introduction to Wakatobi's underwater scene, perfect for easing into your trip or for divers who appreciate the smaller stuff.
