The Lembeh Strait can be found at the northern tip of Sulawesi and is considered to be one of the world's best places for macro scuba diving. It is diving with some of the brightest and healthiest coral you have ever seen. Its underwater marine life is vivid and extremely diverse. The visibilities are outstanding and with its black sand it is a haven for photographers. There are excellent Japanese WWII wrecks, shallow reef dives at Batu Kapal swarmed with pelagic and deep high current drop-offs the more you enter the strait. You can dive at limestone walls, lava flows and volcanic arches. But most divers agree that its wide diversity of critters is the main reason to make you love this area. Mandarin fish, all kind of species of frogfish, nudibranches, wonderpus and seahorses are gems in other places but can all be seen at the same dive site in Lembeh. In the middle of the "Coral Triangle", it is muck diving at its best, spotting macro life you have never seen before.

The Lembeh Strait (Selat Lembeh) can be dived year-round in waters of 27 degrees Celsius, which is slightly cooler than elsewhere in Indonesia. Most divers enter the busy fishing port of Bitung which is only a long one hour drive from Manado and has a 12 meter tall replica of the Eiffel Tower. The Trikora Monument is a one hundred meter high monument built in the 70s to remember the Indonesian military success in Irian Jaya, reached going down the strait. In the middle of the straits you can find some smaller islands Batu Sandar, Sarena Kecil and Kai-nah, which are uninhabited but can be excellent dive sites. You can visit Lembeh Island and find monkeys, lizards, tropical birds and other interesting animal life in its green wilderness. It is hard to predict which time is best to go to this beautiful place since there is not really a rainy season. Up to August, Visibilities will be reduced up to August because of the amount of plankton in the water, but off course this will increase the amount of critters. September and October are generally considered to be the two best months of diving the Lembeh Strait.
