Dive into a New World
The Lembeh Strait is renowned for its extraordinary concentration of rare and unique marine life, making it a dream destination for both amateur and professional divers. Muck-Diving, or Critter-Diving, was born in the strait, and today, 20 years later, Lembeh remains a top choice for divers eager to capture breathtaking, close-up photographs of the wonders found in the underwater world.
Reef Dive Sites
The bustling coral reefs of Lembeh Strait are home to an astonishing variety of biodiversity. Sites like California Dreaming, Angels Window, and Batu Kapal boast healthy coral, vivid blue waters, and a host of fascinating critters you won't find in the black sand sites. Add these reef dive sites to your itinerary for some stunning wide-angle photography opportunities.
Muck Diving Delights
Experience the world-class muck diving Lembeh is famous for, often referred to as the Muck Diving Mecca, and the Critter Capital of the World. Eight species of frogfish, 12 species of octopus, and countless numbers of nudibranch species are just a few of the hundreds of irresistible finds waiting to be discovered. Imagine encountering rare, camouflaged creatures in strange and unlikely habitats—muck diving offers something for everyone, and a unique focus on detail and exploration like no other style of diving can.
