NO GLOVES SINCE 2014
Starting in 2014, NAD had already banned the use of dive gloves. In the past year however, we’ve listened to people which we probably shouldn’t have done. Based on some guest feedback, we decided to be more lenient with gloves and trust that not the gloves as such are bad but the person wearing them.
As a result, we have now seen that people who talked about being good divers and wearing gloves, would still cause more damage than if they did not wear gloves. Therefore, we will no longer allowing people to dive with gloves at NAD Lembeh.
Hydroid stings hurt, and they cause your skin to swell up and itch for a few weeks – we all get those from time to time. We call this the “hand of shame” and it should be a reminder to all of us to be more careful when we dive! In case the itching gets too bad, we do have hydrocortisone in the office.
USE YOUR POINTER OR PROPER BUOANCY
If you’re worried about getting stung by marine creatures living in the sand, please keep using your pointer sticks – or proper buoyancy 😉 Gloves will not protect you in this case anyway, the sting of a scorpionfish for example would go right through!
We’re sure that most of our guests will welcome our no gloves policy, which is quite common nowadays in most dive destinations anyway. The one and only exception we allow to this rule, is if you’re bringing an EpiPen from your doctor because you’re deadly allergic to marine stings.
We all appreciate your support for our NO GLOVES policy, effective June 1st, 2018.
P.S.: If you wanna be angry about this, please be angry with Simon, not with our dive guides ;)[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_text_separator title=”Why Dive with NAD-Lembeh?”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
LOCATION
NAD-Lembeh Resort is a small, owner-operated, photography-oriented dive resort in the Lembeh Strait. We are situated in a private bay on Lembeh Island, away from the hustle and bustle of the mainland. We guarantee a 2:1 guest to guide ratio as standard, which makes for a private dive experience and lots of time to take pictures.
ROOMS & BUNGALOWS
All our rooms (10 Beachfront Rooms, 5 Seaview Bungalows) offer ocean view, air conditioning, hot water, wifi, including full board. Our resort has only few steps, which makes our layout extremely convenient to get from your room to the restaurant, camera room, bar and floating jetty.
DIVE CENTER
Our dive team consists of 15 full-time guides, with over 100 years of combined experience! Air as well as Nitrox and various cylinder sizes (both DIN and Yoke are available onsite).
BOATS & FLOATING JETTY
NAD-Lembeh has 4 large, purpose-built dive boats. Each at around 15m long, they offer lots of space and comfort for the divers. Boats feature onboard toilets, towels, drinks and snacks and first aid/ oxygen
Our jetty allows our guests dignified and quick boat entries – all our dive boats can be moored simultaneously, so there is no wading through the shallows to get on the boat for the dive!
PHOTO CENTER
NAD-Lembeh Resort has been purposely built for photographers: our huge camera room features individual work spaces and we have 6 rental systems on site.
We offer 1:1 photo classes and our guides are all proficient in photography, using our rental equipment for fun dives when not diving with guests.
