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, with a focus on eco-sensitivity and environmental responsibility. 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, 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. Being the centre piece of the resort, Simon’s tailored this room especially to the underwater photographer’s needs – located right next to the restaurant and bar, your babies will never be far away from you and with a total of 30 individual workstations, each of our guests gets a huge space for their precious toys. Every station comes with led lights, rubber mat, camera towel and 4 international/ 8 European power sockets including USB ports – charging all your gadgets at the same time has never been easier!
For those who like to spend a bit more time checking settings, preparing their cameras or reviewing photos, the benches and chairs are the perfect spot to “work” even if you’re on holidays. You will also find basic tools, a drying cabinet, tv, computer and fish ID books in our camera room. Our gift shop includes diopters, float arms and torches in case you have lost something or forgotten it at home.
Our huge rinse tanks can be found in front of the camera room so that your toys can be cleaned straight after coming back from diving, including an air gun in case you need it. With lots of seating spaces either inside or outside of the camera and close by power points, we’ve hopefully created the perfect environment for you to work on your pictures and take home some great shots from your Lembeh dive trip!
