The Lembeh Strait is world-known for its extremely high density of rare and unusual marine life, in particular frogfish, rare species of octopus, seahorses and nudibranchs.
Lembeh Strait is a destination favoured by experienced scuba divers and underwater photographers from all over the world.
Due to the protected geographical features of Lembeh Strait, diving is available throughout the year and would be rarely cancelled due to bad weather.
Several resorts are available on Lembeh Island for divers from all over the world.
