Scuba

The Lembeh Strait is the undisputed muck diving capital of the world. Divers don't come here for coral reefs, but for the black volcanic sand that hides an unparalleled collection of bizarre and rare marine critters. It's a photographer's dream.

Features

Volcanic black sand slopes are the primary feature. This unique habitat is home to mimic octopus, flamboyant cuttlefish, hairy frogfish, blue-ringed octopus, and countless species of nudibranch. It is the ultimate destination for macro photography.
