The Lembeh Strait is one of the world ' s foremost venues for muck diving, explorations of sea-floor sediment home to exotic, colorful, and often bizarre creatures. The shallow depth and gentle current make the Lembeh Strait ideal for inexperienced divers. For beginners, individual instruction by PADI-licensed dive masters or instructors will ensure rewarding dives during a short stay. More demanding reef, wreck, and pinnacle diving sites are only a few minutes away.

The resort is also adjacent to Tangkoko National Park, home to the elusive tarsier, a tiny nocturnal primate resembling a mythic gremlin.

The Lembeh Hills Resort is located on the east coast of North Sulawesi, a 90-minute drive from Sam Ratulangi International Airport in Manado. There are frequent air services from Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Surabaya, and Bali.

Sites Visited:

Considered as the diving Mecca for critters and macro marine life this area has rapidly gained popularity amongst macro photographers. The extremely diverse marine habitat in this stretch of water offers a plethora of macro species, many of which can found nowhere else on the planet. Diving here is the ultimate experience for photographers in search of the unusual and unseen. It is often referred to as a muck divers paradise as most of the sites are either sandy areas or small reefs, there are no spectacular walls of drop offs here. With over 30 dive sites to choose from and even a WWII wreck all within a short boat ride over calm waters from the resort it is no surprise that the Lembeh Strait is a world class dive destination.

Lembeh is diveable all year but the conditions do vary from month to month. January to June sees variable (but still fine) conditions and fewer divers. August sees the poorest visibility but the richest numbers of critters and September to October are probably the best two months overall.

The Lembeh Strait has over 30 dive sites so since the topography and marine life is very similar.
