About this dive site
A muck-diving treasure hunt for the ocean’s smallest characters.
Lembeh Strait’s black sand and rubble patches hide frogfish, mimic octopus, rhinopias and countless nudibranchs if you know where to look. Specialist guides turn a slow fin kick into a parade of camouflaged oddities. Go easy on the bottom, silt and stress ruin shots and habitats alike.
Go slow, stay off the bottom, and follow a local macro guide - silt and fin kicks ruin shots and habitats. Calendar peak is January - December, but skippers still move sites when wind, swell or current change. Book with a crew that knows Lembeh Strait day to day, not just the map pin.
