Lembeh Strait

Reviewed By exsea - Miami, United States

You can call us spoiled..... We have been to Raja Ampat twice, Komodo, Wakatobi, Australia, PNG, Fiji etc etc and this place is right up there with all of them. We came in December, so not the best time of year but the diving was still incredible! Healthy reefs with corals as far as the eye can see, and of course, the muck diving! This was our first real time muck diving, it grows on you....But Lembeh is so much more, the corals are just stunning. We will definitely come back here

Hope the gouvernement will protect this unique place with lots of endemic species and buy more beach to help protect Maleos eggs. The guide was really nice, really gifted to spot all the species and not disturbing them.
