Wednesday 21 August Tomia Dive Resort

Tomia, the to in Wakatobi. The name Wakatobi is an acronym of the names of the four main islands which make up this area; Wangi Wangi, Kaledupa, Tomia and Binongko.
As we approached the island we sent a text message to the boat manager at the resort and, as promised, Vince came out to meet us in his speed boat and showed us where we could raft up on the mooring ball next to a fishing boat.

Later in the afternoon we went in to the resort to enquire about diving around the island. Alas the Swiss owner claimed he'd leased all rights to sites and while we could dive with the resort it would cost $200 for a day with 3 dives. Too costly for our purse so we said thanks but no thanks, enjoyed a tour and a cup of coffee, admired the restaurant and facilities before returning to our humble home.
