The diving in Lembeh straits is usually referred to as muck or critter diving. This is a unique experience, driven by the desire to find those unique and strange beasties that are so common in this part of Indonesia. Enter a world underwater filled with Mimic Octopus, flamboyant Cuttlefish, hundreds of nudibranchs, every kind of Frogfish and Pygmy Seahorses... to name but a few of the special sightings.
