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…
Sometimes the best subjects in Lembeh are ones that we often just swim right on past. When people come to Lembeh they are usually in search of some of the more hard to find critters on the reef: exotic species such as hairy frogfish, flambouyant cuttlefish, and blue ring octopus are typically the critters that…
It’s that time of year once again! Mike Veitch and Luca Vaime of the Underwater Tribe in Bali are here and will soon be conducting their annual underwater photography workshop here at NAD. For the next couple of weeks the Tribe will be taking over the NAD blog and posting photos, stories, and updates here…

Good Underwater Photography obviously has to do a lot with knowing your camera, settings and lighting technique. But like with any other type of photography it’s finding the right subject and the right angle what comes first. Feeding Whales, Baitballs or yawning Rhinopias come in handy here. They draw attention. Unfortunately there will be moments, when these…
Here’s a video by one of our lovely guests, Lou Smith. The was Lou’s first macro trip shooting video with an SLR and she was very frustrated in the first few days but battled through and produced this lovely film:
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…
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…
