It only takes a quick peek below the surface of the island's tranquil waters to see the devastating consequences of unfettered local fishing practices. The sea floor off the coast, once heralded as one of Sulawesi's richest reefs, is now a barren, white wasteland of shattered coral, eerie stillness and craters the size of a child's inflatable wading pool. The effects of dynamite fishing are hard to miss...

...arranged for about $10 an hour. Given the resort's isolation?it can get creepy at night?and reasonable prices elsewhere in Burma, $100 a night is somewhat steep. But once there, when compared with the heat and hard sell of Pagan, the cool breezes, beautiful views and tranquil setting feel priceless; fax (95-62) 70368 for reservations...
