On this second day we are all very exciting for diving in one of the paradise of international divers, more precisely on Tomia Island. Tomia Island is said to have an amazing underwater beauty.
From Wangi-Wangi island it takes approximately 4 hours to travel by sea on a regular boat ride. It is indeed a very long journey to be able to see firsthand how the underwater paradise of Wakatobi.
Arriving at Tomia Island, we were picked up by using a pickup truck to the inn, then rushed for diving, escorted using a small boat to the Kolosoha diving spot. On the ship we got an explanation from Mr. Ahmad, one of the dive masters in Wakatobi how to use oxygen to breathe, sign language, to equalizing.
It’s even more impatient to hurry up diving, because just being seen from the boat is really the coral reefs. We are also accompanied by a dive master, so for beginners like us we are safe too.
And just after being in the sea, it’s more than beautiful original! The coral is good, the variety of beautiful fishes also adds to the beauty of the underwater world of Wakatobi.

How do I become a Local Guides to promote Indonesian tourism (Indonesia Travel Bucket List Stories : Local Guides X Indonesian Ministry Of Tourism)
The name of the program is “SUSUR NUSANTARA” has a special agenda to revitalize the existence of tourist spots in Indonesia that are less exposed on social media. The West Side’s fame on social media is far less than the East side’s fame, where hashtags with locations in Bali, NTB, Sulawesi and Papua are always crowded with posts by local and international netizens.
I along with the team explored 8 destinations that are rarely exposed in Indonesia. I was officially invited to collaborate because I am a co-founder of Indonesia’s largest media on Instagram, @ExploreIndonesia, and also I am an alumni of the 2017 Local Guides Summit who are very active in helping local tourism in my residential areas, Sidoarjo and Surabaya.
Not only that, my job there is to photograph the beauty of the natural, cultural and regional heritage there. But it also helps to update the location with updated points of tourist attractions on Google Maps with the Local Guides program and Street View Trusted Photographer so that it will get maximum results.
My goal for sharing this story is to show my experience when traveling to unique places in Indonesia. And also helps provide insight to other global Local Guides friends. So, I will write my stories through the title “Indonesia Travel Bucket List Stories”.
Hopefully, one day, officially, @ExploreIndonesia and the Google Local Guides program also Google Maps can collaborate in Indonesia.
