On a recent Muck Dive in the north of the Lembeh Strait we had a blast: Hairy Frogfishes (3 of them), Mimic Octopus, Wonderpus, Coconut Octopus, Seahorses and many more. Plus i had to find out, that all these subjects where way too big for my 100mm lens on APS-C sensor. So i left all these critters…
There are many dive destinations in the world. And all have their typical or unique characteristics … drifts, sharks, whales, blue water, pristine reefs, ice, green water, wrecks. But no matter where you dive; most divers agree that one of the main things they like in diving is that it is quiet under water. And we…
We had a really good year for Rhinopias and several individuals of the Weedy Rhinopias (Rhinopias frondosa) and the Paddleflap Rhinopias (Rhinopias Eschmeyri) could be seen here in Lembeh. So it was not a big suprise when we received whatsapp messages on the BOOT Show in Düsseldorf that our guides had found another Rhinopias while we…
Now it’s Christmas and another year at NAD-Lembeh is about to end. I don’t do calendars – but i still want to post some of my favourite images of 2014. And because it is not a calendar i took the freedom to choose 3 photos per month and make a little “36 Images Film Roll”. So…
To be able to offer our 2:1 Ratio (2 Guests with one Diveguide) at the quality level our guests are used to we not only had to find some new guides – we had to find some really good ones. So let us introduce the latest three additions to our Dive Team (from left to right): Jony, Tamrin…
Since this April we were running a trial on our “2:1” Dive Guide Ratio which was then permanently implemented this summer. But still a lot of people are coming into our resort not knowing about this at all. Well … Good things you can’t say often enough. So here one more time: At NAD-Lembeh we offer a…
Dive, Dive, Eat, Dive, Dive, Eat, Download Photos, Sleep … The Lembeh Dive Day mainly consists of Diving. Because People that come to Lembeh mainly want two things: Critters & Photos. But there is also some really cool Non-Diving Critters to be seen. Besides Tarsiers, Insects, Birds and others there are even Fish to be seen…
We found it. In Lembeh. Yeeeha! No joke: Last week NAD-Lembeh found the Melibe colemani in Lembeh Strait. Even though some of our guides previously said, that he had already seen it … well we did not really believe as we have not seen photos. Sorry guys, we were wrong. But now we have photos and videos to prove 😉 This…
It is late November again, Christmas is coming closer again … and again we found a new Rhinopias in Lembeh Strait. This time it is a juvenile Weedy Scorpionfish (Rhinopias frondosa) – red colour and still just over the size of a matchbox. We’ll try to keep it secret as long as possible and of course…
Frogfish, Frogfish, Frogfish, Octopus and then two Frogfishes next to each other: These are moments that turn a muck dive into real Lembeh Muck Dives. The famous beautiful black sand slopes here in Lembeh usually show cycles of extreme critter density which follow after slower periods. This applies to all Muck Dives here: They might…
