Lembeh Straits is known as the muck diving capital of the world, and is one of the few places in the world where you will see the elusive hairy frog fish, pygmy sea horses, larger sea horses like the thorny seahorse, mimic octopus, wunderpus and flamboyant cuttlefish to name a few.
Muck dives consist of sandy black slopes with good visibility, approximately 10-15m. It is a macro-photographers dream, as the slopes are teaming of all sorts of fascinating critters and the black sand reduces back-glare. Muck dives are the main reason many divers return to us, in Lembeh, time and time again.
Lembeh also has some fascinating ship wrecks. They are covered in both corals and creatures making them fantastic to explore.
Last but not least, Lembeh is also surrounded by sites with small walls and slopes full of soft corals. Lembeh diving truly does have something for everyone. Find out more about Diving Lembeh and browse our Lembeh Diving Blog to find out what is happening now.
Really enjoyed our stay. De staff is very gently, the cook made delicious food, the cottage was oke and the diving was super. This was our first time in Asia and our first time muck diving and we loved it. We made two dives a day in the morning and in the afternoon, after lunch we were relaxing in the garden with Seaview. If you would like to see lots of strange underwater creatures I advice you to do a night dive over there. Thank you guy’s for the wonderful time we had.
