ABOUT FREE DIVING

Wakatobi was created with the vision to deliver the ultimate dive experience and was established following an extensive search to identify the perfect location for a dive resort in terms of geography, climate, oceanic topography and marine biodiversity. To ensure its future we then created one of the world’s largest privately protected marine reserves. That gives you some idea of the extent to which we will go and the attention to detail that goes into every aspect of the Wakatobi experience.

ABOUT WAKATOBI

Wakatobi is located at the world’s epicentre of coral reef biodiversity. This means that while diving at Wakatobi you can see the greatest variety and diversity of marine life. New and undocumented species continue to be discovered at Wakatobi.

ABOUT THE EVENTS

Whether you are a non-diver or would simply like to take break from the scheduled dives, Wakatobi offers a plethora of non-diving activities, both water-based and on land, to absorb you whether you are looking for physical or intellectual distraction.

ABOUT SUMMER OLYMPIC DIVING GAMES

Diving was included in the Olympic Games for the first time at the 1904 Games in St Louis. The springboard and platform events have been included since the 1908 Olympic Games in London. Since the Stockholm Games in 1912, women have taken part in the diving events.

ABOUT OLYMPIC AQUATICS CENTRE

The Olympic Aquatics Centre will host diving, swimming, artistic swimming, and synchronized swimming for the upcoming 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan. The Aquatics Centre will hold 20,000 speculators.

ABOUT THE EVENTS

The first Olympic competitions differed from those which exist nowadays, notably with respect to the height of the platforms and springboards. The diving programme has been relatively stable since the 1928 Games in Amsterdam: men and women take part in 10-metre high-dive and 3-metre springboard events. In 2000, the Sydney Games witnessed the entrance of synchronised diving on both the springboard and the platform. Other events in the Summer Olympics include water polo, swimming, gymnastics, track, surfing, skateboarding, etc.
