It’s the second of November, the dive boats are out, some lovely guests just left for their plane and the resort is empty – a good moment to recapture the last month when a lot of things happened here at NAD Lembeh: We had a lot of nice guests from Holland, Germany, Taiwan, Singapore, Belgium,…
DetailsThis week when going in for the second dive at Aer Bajo 1, we decended as usual on the buoyline in the shallows. That buoy is ankered by concrete filled oildrums at 6 meters in the sandy bottom. The ropes up to the buoy are always filled with squid eggs – and often when…

DetailsEven though diving in Lembeh is very shallow, people often reach the reserve of their Air or Nitrox Tank. Because the Buddy uses less Air, because divers get too excited about the Lembeh critters, because the critters stay deeper, because people have bigger lungs … there are many reasons why 80 cubic feet…
DetailsToday at Aer Bajo 2 it was quite busy, so i decided to look around a bit deeper and swam down the slope off the divesite. At 29 meters i found this little Frogfish under some pieces of sponges and leaves. The Bugger is only about 2 cm big and has that extraordinary white line…
DetailsWhile looking for some Tiger Shrimp, we found this cool little Frogfish in between some sponges and ropes while diving in one of Lembeh’s shallow Back Sand Bays. Even though we see quite some Hairy Frogfish, Hispid Frogfish and other rather special Frogfish, we still fell in love with this one – just because his colour…
