The reefs of Wakatobi are covered in soft corals and gorgonians that spread out like underwater forests, and between them schools of small fish such as anthias and butterfly fish swim in a constant play of colors. Parrotfish graze on the corals, while clownfish hide in their anemones. In deeper places you can see larger species such as grey reef sharks, tuna and barracuda patrolling the current. Manta rays sometimes glide past with their majestic movements, and if you are lucky, a whale shark may even appear in the blue.
