The Heartbeat of Coral Triangle
The names of the nearby islands "Wangi-wangi, Kaledupa, Tomia, and Binongko" are the source of the name Wakatobi. The reason for the additional term "Iron Island" is that each of these islands can only be reached by ship, which must be anchored with an anchor. Wakatobi, as we all know, has an exquisite aquatic appeal. Invisibly, we can make out groups of barrier reefs, ring reefs, peripheral reefs, and reefs made of burnt coral.
To make the dive even better, several coral species that make up the atoll, including Kaledupa Atoll, Kapota Atoll, and Tomia Atoll, receive the most uncommon category. There is also Hoga Island, which is twisting and includes underwater cliffs. Waha village also includes coral reef slopes and a steep ocean landscape. Many soft corals and other kinds of coral reefs are present at its peak.Paradise under the ocean.
