- "Lake Tondano" - The beautiful lake, 600m above sea level, where the mountain air is pleasantly cool.

Lembeh was the first true muck diving destination and the Lembeh Strait is still considered one of the best & most famous macro diving areas in the world.
The rather sandy, dark underwater landscape hides an incredible wealth of extraordinary creatures that are difficult to find elsewhere.
Known for its "critters " - tiny, often bizarre creatures such as frogfish, pygmy seahorses, ghost pipefish, octopus - including the famous mimic & blue-ringed octopus - mandarin fish, orangutan crabs, mantis shrimp and many more different species of snails & prawns, this bizarre biodiversity makes the area one of the best places for underwater photography & macro diving in the world.
Although the region is best known for its muck diving on black volcanic slopes, it also offers some wonderful coral dive sites - including the resort's house reef, which is also the largest coral reef in the Lembeh Strait.
Other great coral dive sites such as "Angels Window" and "California Dreaming" are just a short boat ride away from the resort. Â
Visibility is often not the best in Lembeh, but that doesn't detract from the experience. The fascination lies in tracking down the tiny and perfectly camouflaged creatures.
Even experienced divers are often amazed at the multitude of bizarre creatures that can be discovered here.
Every dive becomes a real treasure hunt.
To summarize: Lembeh is an underwater world full of surprises and perfect for divers who enjoy discovering the smallest and most bizarre marine life - a true macro dream!
DIVE CENTER
Three dives a day are planned with the twin-engine fiberglass dive boats, which take divers comfortably to a choice of over 60 dive sites.

A night dive is also offered daily, provided at least two people take part.
When booking a diving package (min. 3 nights with 2 diving days), the resort offers free access to the two world-famous house reef dive sites "Hairball" & "Aw Shucks".
