Muck Diving Capital of the World
Divers around the world, almost without exception, would say that Lembeh is in their bucket list, a must do destination. And many who have visited Lembeh, would come back repeatedly.

Entering into the water, the diver will come across a mostly sandy bottom, with good but not great visibility... "what am I doing here?"
Soon our masterful dive guides will bring you face-to-face with the world's weirdest critters, for that is what Lembeh is often called "the Weird Critter Capital of the World".

We keep our diving groups small because we understand each diver is unique. A dive guide is usually assigned to 2 to 3 divers. This ensures that there is individual attention given to each diver, to cater to the need of each diver.
​We will also tailor the dive plan according to the requests of the divers, and plan the dives according to what divers wish to see and experience.
A Quick Glance at some of the Dive Sites
Air Prang
Air Prang (alternately spelt as Aer Prang, Air Perang) is a wonderful, relatively shallow dive site that hosts a variety of critters. A favourite night dive spot.
Pantai Parigi
Pantai Parigi has a shallow reef, then a gentle white sand; different from the primarily black sand bottom at Lembeh Straits.
An interesting site for seahorses, frogfish, shrimps, cephalopods, etc. This is also a site where the famed Lembeh sea dragon may be found.
The famed Wunderpus photogenics!
Lemon Goby brooding eggs.
Goby A’Crab is a fringing reef with giant sea fans and sponges. It turns into sandy bottom at about 25m. This is a good site to find various mollusks, nudibranchs, crustecans, etc.
