Dive Information
Lembeh Dive Overview
- Diving the Lembeh Strait is something that all divers should try at least once, these black sand bays and coral outcrops hold an outstanding amount of marine life.
- If you are an underwater photographer, then the Lembeh Strait should be on your must-visit list, likely multiple times!
- Lembeh Diving is normally quite simple with very little current. Divers visiting Lembeh are likely to see a vast list of must-see critters, such as frogfish, mimic octopus, rhinopias, a huge array of nudibranchs and other octopus, the Blue Ringed Octopus being a highlight. Lembeh is not just muck diving though, we explore all over the Island and beyond to find some of the best reef diving in SE Asia.
Dive Center Information
NAD Lembeh's dive boats and camera room
NAD Lembeh Resort's Dive Center
NAD’s dive team is the largest in Lembeh to-date and is likely one of the most experienced in Lembeh. Staff is eco-sensitive as well as responsible for the environment. They are great spotters, and offer a 2:1 diver-to-guide ratio.
NAD's dive boats provide towels, water, tea, coffee, cold drinks, snacks, first aid kit, GPS, Camera Rinse, Oxygen and a toilet, plus 2 of the best crew you can find. All boats are NON-SMOKING on the inside. As NAD is ecologically minded, they do not anchor on dive sites, and do not carry anchors as standard. They train all Boatmen and Guides in First Aid, and use SSI for training materials.
The NAD Photo Center was established back in 2009 by former resort owner Mike Veitch and current owner Simon. At the time Simon and Mike were both Field Editors for Scuba Diver Australasia, and submitting photographic works to various other magazines. Mike went on to win one of the most prestigious awards in Photography – The Natural History Museum Wildlife Photographer of the Year.
Both Mike and Simon were able to establish a complete, large camera room within NAD Lembeh along with 1 air-conditioned class/media room. Simon also performs more vigorous servicing of cameras and housings and has completed service training for Nauticam camera housings in China.
The NAD Lembeh consists of one large camera room featuring individual workstations, and overspill benches for those who like to spread. NAD Lembeh's camera room is situated in between the rebreather room and the restaurant or clubhouse so that guests’ underwater photography equipment is never too far away.
