Some of our dive guides and I took advantage of a free afternoon to go on a photographic mission on our house reef and wreck. Although all of our guides are pretty good in handling cameras and taking pictures already, there is always room for improvement.
The year is about to come to an end and – like last year – i want to post an album with my favourite moments, critters and photos of the last 12 months. The one big thing to mention about Lembeh 2015 is the extremely good high season we had. The cold water period started early…
The INON LF800-N is a torch that interested me since it first was released. The LF800-N is a special interest torch and has a very narrow 5° beam that creates a spotlight like effect. This can be ideal as a search or night dive light – or used in photography or videography. Now i finally got around to buy…
Photos showing behaviour are more interesting than just a plain shot of the animal. This is why cleaning stations are still popular macro subjects. In Lembeh Strait people often forget that due to the abundance of cool critters on the dive sites. But if you keep your eye open there is some great cleaning action to…
Besides specific critters, behaviour stands on the top of our guests bucket lists. And among the most requested behaviours there is always the “everything with eggs”.

It’s an emotional day here in Lembeh, we finished our last 2 dives this morning and are now sitting around the table prepping images for tonight’s exciting final night slideshow. Why is it an emotional time? Because the diving has come to an end and we are all leaving tomorrow! It has been a fun…
One of the most interesting things about our annual photo workshops is the new and interesting people that we meet each year. For this years Underwater Tribe/NAD Lembeh Photo Fun Week, we have all new guests except for one guest who is now joining us for his third workshop with the Underwater Tribe! Guests this…
It’s on! The Third Annual Underwater Tribe/NAD Lembeh Photo Workshop started today with a bang! All of our guests arrived by the 18th and after a nice dinner we gathered upstairs in the NAD Lounge in order to present the schedule of the week, introduce ourselves, and enjoy a beautiful slideshow from Serge, the manager…
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…
