The resort is tucked in a coconut plantation with the view of Lembeh strait. I loves their rooms. The duplex units have a large spacious layout, with an Air Conditioned bedroom and a separate Fan-Cooled Living Room. The large bathroom is attached to the bedroom and has a big stone walk-in shower. There is a large veranda with the beautiful views of the Bay and the Strait and beyond. The room can easily fit 6-8 person. :-)

Muck diving is the main focus here, it's the best place to discover weird creatures, nudibranch, seahorse, devil fish, scorpion fish, octopus, frog fish, shrimps, crabs, eels, mandarin fish, stargazer and many more. The action didn't stop until you are low on air and climb onto the dive boat. It was hard for me who was using a film camera when I finished my 36 shots before the end of each dives and something nice will appear right after that. :-( It was hard to pick what I wanted to shoot as well. The local DMs were excellent, you just need to prepare a wish list and they will try their very best to fulfill it. I have got all what I wanted to see except for the blue ring octopus. :-) Nudi Falls, Nudi Retreat and Hairball are my favorites. The night dives here are extraordinary! One that you shouldn't miss! I promise you, it's a twilight zone out there. There are also some wall dives at the northern coast of Lembeh Island, the Angel Windows is a submerged pinnacle that has pretty good wall and a few wrecks in the strait.
During my trip to Lembeh Mar 2005, I shot about a dozen roll of films. Had the most amazing muck dives I ever had, I looked forward for my photos to be developed but to my excitement, I was slammed with zero photos as a result of a failed battery in the camera!! I held my tears back and told myself that I will be back again. In Nov, I return again for another round of shots.
