The story

There was a man from Switzerland named Lorenz who liked to scuba dive. So he decided to travel half way around the world to find an area that has the most spectacular reefs he could find.

16 years ago he flew to Bali, then he took several boats, and 4 days later he arrived at a small village on a tiny island off of south east Sulawesi. This is where he decided to build his dive resort.

He negotiated with the locals to lease part of the island and the fishing rights for the reefs to protect them. He took the first two letters from the names of the four closest islands and named his resort to be Wakatobi.

The whole area was covered with thick jungle which he had to clear away in order to begin building his first structure of the resort which started it all.
