Dive Centre
Lembeh Divers offer three boat dives daily and night dives on request. Dive training with PADI is possible. For photographers and film-makers there is an extra room with charging stations for 110 & 220 volt available.
Two compressors and a sufficient supply of 12 l (80 cft) INT tanks guarantee that there is always a fresh tank available. Nitrox is available. Just outside the resort is an extensive house reef which is ideal for night dives.
Dive Operation
There are several daily trips offered to the about 30 dive sites in Lembeh Strait. The travel times are between 2 and 30 minutes and after each dive, its back to the resort.
The dives are conducted by very experienced Indonesian guides who can easily find rare critters for you and will do anything to make the guests happy. The ratio between divers and guides is 1 guide for a maximum of 4 divers.
On the house reef, experienced divers can dive independently. You can always request a dive guide to find the elusive Mandarin fish or for night dives. A separate charge applies.
Dive sites
The diving around Lembeh Island is probably the world's best known diving area for "muck diving” or “critter diving”. This is a paradise for divers who are looking for the smallest and rarest fish and critters.
There is the Ambon scorpionfish, ghost pipefish, seahorses, crabs and angler fish in all colors, to name just a few. These sites, including two wrecks, are a highlight for underwater photographers and lovers of muckdiving. At times you might encounter cooler currents in the Lembeh Straight, the water temperature can get as low as 22 ° C (71 F), a warmer 5mm wetsuit is recommended. However, most of the time you can expect water temperatures around 26C (79F)
We think …
Don’t expect beautiful coral reefs in good visibility here, you will dive in spots with black sand and poor visibility, as that is where the critters live. The richness in critter life will be most rewarding in return.
