  • I’ve been diving since 1970 and in all my thousands of dives I’ve never experienced anything equal to Lembeh Muck diving. From the Red Sea to Australia to Bonaire and Mexico, Lembeh is the most exciting.
    It’s for sure not the prettiest. It’s murky, there’s very little coral. But the critters are the things of dreams. We were diving in Lembeh in February of 2018 and in July, rather than head to the Caribbean, we went back to Lembeh for a 2nd crack at the critters. And I’m so glad we did. I’ve loved diving around the world. In fact I love diving in my own swimming pool. I even have my own SNUBA. But, nothing is as exciting as Blue Ring Octopuses Hunting, Hairy Frogfish Eating, Ribbon Eels Eating, Flamboyant Cuttlefish Eating and the list goes on and on. In fact, I was lucky enough to get Clownfish Eggs, up close. Plus Squid eggs, Nudibranch eggs and so much more.
    Honestly, I owe it mostly to the wonderful dive guide I found at Dabirahe Dive resort in Lembeh. His name is Puri, and while I’ve heard that other guides are great too, I’ve never had anyone find so many creatures. It’s amazing. Plus I’ve been so pampered getting in and out of the water, that I’m spoiled to dive anywhere else. But it’s really about the amazing creatures.
    I really find that I shoot more great video footage on a dive in Lembeh than I often shoot in a week in the Caribbean. It’s amazing. And I’m so thrilled with the critters that we’ve found that I put a special video monitor up over my desk that runs my Lembeh videos 24 hours a day. I just can’t get enough of these amazing, ugly, wonderful critters. So, if you can, head to Lembeh. I’m going back for my third trip in February of 19. I’m hooked.
    Oh, and I’ve shot everything with an inexpensive Olympus TG-5 in a housing with a tripod and a new 15,000 lumen light from Big Blue. I also have a 2800 lumen light that’s great, but the 15,000 lumen is awesome. You don’t need a big camera. But you do need to shoot MACRO. There’s virtually no wide angle shooting in Lembeh.

    I want to dive with you. You don’t rush and you take the time to notice and study the small, beautiful, fascinating inhabitants in this ecosystem. I marvel at the creatures, colors, and patterns that I’ve never seen before. Thank you!🦋

      Hi, Thanks so much. I can't wait for the pandemic to be over so I can get back to Lembeh. You're right the key to seeing a lot is to go really slow and then you see the most. I've really found that the more ground you cover the less you see. Awhile back I made a video in Bonair of one small coral head I like to visit. Here's a video ruclips.net/video/mldhEa5vDeo/видео.html Enjoy your diving.

    Cant think of anything to say? Do you imagine that we imagine ourselves diving because of the breathing sounds? On all macro shots? Think again!! We want a pleasant voice telling us all about these creatures. And why not 2 versions, one with commentary.
