On yesterdays morning dives i went guiding some of our guests. Due to waves and surge we had to switch divesites and jumped on a protected reef. At around 30 meters i saw a white sponge and i immediately had the feeling that something was “unusual” about it. But i did not expect something that…
NAD Lembeh Resort and Diving Manager Serge got mentioned in a recent Article by Brooke Morton in Scuba Diving Magazine. In the March/April Issue 2012 there is an article about Octopuses and we are represented in the portion about the mimic octopus. Thank you very much for this article Suba Diving Magazine … and of…
If you like Nudibranchs, then Lembeh is the place to go – a trasure chamber full of Nudibranchs and Slugs of all families. This was proved again on a recent dive at Nudi Falls. I can’t really remember how many different species of Nudibranch we counted in total, but it was very impressive and our…
Like most people here in Lembeh Strait, we really like shrimps. And one popular shrimp here is the Leander plumosus, which – due to its protuding nose – is also called the Donald Duck Shrimp. But there is also a close – more unknown – relative of the Donald Duck Shrimp … the Brown Grass…

The housereef at NAD-Lembeh Resort is very popular – specially for a late afternoon dive to jump in quickly after coming back with the PM boat. People usually jump in then around 7 PM to see the courting of the Lembeh Seadragons, the Twin Spot Gobies (before it gets dark) and then some bobtailsquids and…

Hairy Frogfish, Rhinopias, Hairy Octopus, Blue Ringed Octopus – most Muck Divers coming to Lembeh have a “Holy Grail” on their Bucket List. Mine has always been the Zebra Seahorse. Our Dive Guide Paulus says that he has seen the last one something like 10 years back in Hairball – and this week he found…
