When hearing about this activity, people tend to think about Mexico, France, Bahamas, Belize or Thailand. Well now you can count Indonesia in! After many years of exploration, surveys and data mining, we decided to start the first full cave diving training facility in Indonesia.<\/p>\n
.Indonesian Karst Landscape covers a surface equivalent to Nicaragua. After thorough studies of the geology we decided to start our exploration in the province of Sulawesi Tenggara (South-east Sulawesi) in 2016.\u00a0 Helped by local population, we unraveled hundreds of caves and kilometers of underground water. We are now ready to bring any cave diver willing to travel to our wonderful land for fun cave diving our well known caves. And we can’t wait to bring the most adventurous cave divers for explorations!<\/p>\n
If you’re not trained yet don’t worry. We offer full training from cavern level to Technical Full Cave Diver. Cave diving is a risky activity and our instructor will slowly and safely lead you to be able to discover this amazing underground world.\u00a0 You will be among the first humans to lay eyes on these beauties.<\/p>\n
Our caves are spread all across the Sulawesi Tenggarra province. Depending on your level of experience, and how deep into the remote Indonesia you’re willing to travel, we have the cave that will fit your needs.<\/p>\n

Wakatobi is an arquipelago of 4 main islands and come for WAngi-wangi, KAledupa, TOmia, BInongko (WA-KA-TO-BI). This destination is becoming popular amongst travelers, backpackers and nature enthusiasts for its pristine coral reefs, crystal clear blue water and unspoiled nature.\u00a0 Being one of the first national park of Indonesia, a lot of efforts have been made to protect and keep the islands authentic and clean. The authenticity and kindness of local people make Wakatobi an enjoyable and safe destination to visit. Moreover, Bajo People ( Sea Gypsies ) have choosen wangi-wangi as their capital and discovering their culture is a unique opportunity.<\/p>\n
What people do not know is that the arquipelago is made of an old coral reef and the 4 islands sit on a limestone bed. Therefore, the rock being soft and porous, the fresh water infiltrates undeground and creates an extensive network of underwater caves. All the cities, are then built around these sinkholes that offer a surface access to the underground network, allowing local population and travelers to escape the burning sun and dip into fresh water.<\/p>\n
For us divers, it is an incredible and inedite playground. Most of cave diving enthusiasts do not even know that Indonesia is a major cave diving destination.\u00a0 In wakatobi itself we have explored dozens of caves in Wangi-wangi and Tomia and many more are still unexplored and available for the cave experts ready for a once in a lifetime adventure.<\/p>\n
Caves in Wakatobi are mostly shallow, warm water, crystal clear visibility and very to access, making it a perfect spot to learn or refresh your cave diving skills. Moreover, the proximity of one of the best coral reef in the planet make available the possibility to organize diving holidays combining cave diving and amazing ocean reef diving.<\/p>\n
Eventually you will fall in love with wakatobi: its nature, its lifestyle, its ocean and its caves makes a perfect destination for your next diving holidays.<\/p>\n
