Lembeh Resort - right on the strait !

Located in the heart of the muck diving capital of the world, Lembeh Resort offers comfortable and spacious accommodation for visitors in an idyllic location overlooking Lembeh Strait. Diving operations are run by Murex Divers - the pioneers of Bunaken, Bangka and liveaboard diving in North Sulawesi.

Diving

The Lembeh Resort dive team have extensive experience diving in the strait and their infectious enthusiasm will result in the best possible diving experience - day after day. The focus is on personal attention and doing their utmost to help guests see most, if not all, the critters on their wish lists. Unlimited diving is offered to resort guests and the majority of the 40+ sites within the strait are only minutes away by boat. Guests can rest assured that they can accomplish as much diving as they desire !

Lembeh Strait has already been established as the mecca of what is known as muck or critter diving. Professional photographers and film crews are regular visitors to the strait, shooting award-winning images of the extraordinary inhabitants such as Pygmy seahorses, mimic octopus, flamboyant cuttlefish, mandarinfish, hairy frogfish, ghost pipefish & rhinopias that mesmerize guests dive after dive.

Dive Sites

Police Pier, Hairball and Nudi Falls are just some of the dive sites you will want to go back to, over and over again. But if you are missing corals, I would suggest an afternoon dive at the house reef (yes, there actually is a reef, small as it may be).
