Polly and Francis Lau are two of our many return guests here at NAD. The couple visits and dives with us and in Lembeh at least once a year, usually staying around 10 days. Polly and Francis love diving with dive guide Marnes because he is still able to find and show the couple new critters every time they visit – even after the 7th stay!
Our guests Johan and Bets from the Netherlands have visited Lembeh in 2010 already. Compared to a few years ago, they enjoyed diving in the Strait now even more: less trash, more critters, better corals. A big thank you to Johan for some beautiful underwater pictures which he was happy to share with us in our guest gallery.
Group travel’s are fun – specially when you come with good friends. The Australian group we have here in the resort right now proves this at its best. And Michelle’s awesome logbook entries show that these guys have also a fantastic time underwater. After each dive day she make a beautiful drawing outlining the highlights…

One of the cool things about North Sulawesi is the vast amount of wildlife that can be found both on land and underwater. Obviously diving in the Lembeh Strait is very well known, as is the Bunaken National Park, however, what many folks miss out on when they visit the area is the wonderful terrestrial…
It’s always fun to experiment with different techniques underwater. As I am in Lembeh with the Underwater Tribe with no particular deadline or assignment in mind, I have been using the time to try out a few different cameras and shooting styles. One of the styles I have been playing around with is the use…
One of the things I always enjoy about coming to NAD Lembeh Resort is the chance to play with the latest camera gadgets that Simon always seems to have in stock. Last year, I was able to spend a few days shooting the Sony A7s in a Nauticam Housing as well as the Olympus EM-1…
