Wakatobi National Park

Indonesia · South-East Sulawesi
Profundidad: 3–40 mNivel: Open WaterApril-December

Indonesia's third largest national park, between the Banda Sea and the Flores Sea. The name is an acronym of its four main islands: Wangi-Wangi, Kaledupa, Tomia and Binongko. The archipelago brings together all three reef types — fringing, barrier and atoll — in a single destination, which is why its appeal is not one particular animal but structural variety.

Blade es un monte submarino de más de 200 m de largo y menos de siete de ancho que, visto de lado, parece la hoja de un cuchillo gigante.
