Dive-site story
Located along the Lembeh Strait, this muck diving site features a dark volcanic sand slope interspersed with coral bommies, rubble patches, and discarded natural debris. Divers slowly scour the substrate to spot masterfully camouflaged critters. The calm conditions in the bay make it a favorite for macro photographers seeking rare benthic species.
