2 – 12 November 2009
The hour we arrived in Wanci, we immediately had a meeting with WWF Indonesia Wakatobi Project Leader Veda Santiadji in their Wangi Wangi office. He offered us different travel scenarios and we got really excited when the first option was to do initial diving on a snapper Spawning Aggregation Sites (Spags) then proceed to far away Moromahu for a bird survey then continue on to Runduma & Anano Islands, slowly coming back to Wangi Wangi visiting the different islands of WA KA TO BI.

We were going with several boats to get to the islands. National Park speedboat Baracuda for the Spags survey.

TNC/WWF liveaboard and floating research station Menami (meaning Napoleon wrasse) WWF speedboat Simba (meaning trevalley) and a dingy with no name for our far trip to Moromahu. Great.
