Diving & Dive Sites Lembeh Strait
Divers Lodge Lembeh
The unique underwater world of Lembeh Strait deserves a unique dive facility. Nowhere else will you find eight dive guides, one instructor and six boats catering for a maximum of ten guests. In total, our guides have clocked up more than 10.000 hours of diving in the Lembeh Strait. Very few places on the sea bottom are unfamiliar to them, and even fewer creatures can hide from their experienced spotting eyes. Our policy ensures that there are never more than two guests with one dive guide, unless of course our guests specifically choose to dive in a larger group.

Our English speaking guides show you creatures you may never discover on your own and allow you to take your time to observe them more closely. This is ideal for photographers and videographers, since patience is the key to a good result. There is no time limit imposed on your dive, provided you stay within your computer limits and have enough air! And if you book a non-limit dive package in advance, you and your buddy will have a boat to yourselves, so you decide how many times you want to dive, where and when – this is true “no limit” diving. However, we do ask that all divers adhere to our house rules: preferably no deeper than 30 meters and no deco dive profiles. Read our dive rules.
While most of our guests use their own dive gear, complete sets brand new top high quality dive gear are available for rent (Complete set for only Euro 12,50 per day). Please inform us in advance. NITROX is available, with a surcharge of only Euro 4,-.

Our boats are specially designed for diving. They all provide good shelter, an on-board toilet, a spacious working area, 220/230 volt electricity, a fresh water tank for camera equipment and all necessary safety devices. Cold soft drinks, water and hot tea and coffee, as well as cookies and fruits, are available as snacks after diving. A delicious lunch is also served on board.
Although our boats are spacious and comfortable they are still quite fast. Some distances in minutes; Goby a Crab (Tanjung Lampu) 8 minutes, Indah Wreck 10 minutes, Nudi Falls 15 minutes, Hairball (which is actually only 10 kilometers from our Lodge) 25 minutes. These times are including taking off from our beach and mooring on the site.

Usually our guests prefer to take their lunch with them on the boat. You can rinse your camera in a basin with fresh water and the cabin of the boat is always dry and clean inside and thus a safe place to change films and/or batteries. It is also possible to charge your batteries on the boat.The cabin of the boat is high enough for you to stand straight up. The boat has a toilet.
Our house reef offers apart from other things an amazing amount of Mandarin fish. But also here we prefer to dive from a boat. You can easily make up to 4 or 5 dives if you want.

Divers Lodge Lembeh offers you the biggest diversity of dive sites around. More than forty diving locations are within our reach and these present the perfect opportunity for an unforgettable diving holiday. A huge number of creatures are to be found in the Lembeh Strait, but perhaps the most famous and unusual are the pygmy seahorse, hairy frogfish, blue ringed and mimic octopus and all kinds of nudibranchs. Larger creatures, like eagle rays, giant groupers, schools of bump head parrotfish and sharks, are found swimming around here too.
