Lembeh Strait

Lembeh Strait delivers the world's most extraordinary muck diving, with critters like the mimic octopus, hairy frogfish, and blue-ringed octopus outnumbering those at any other site in Indonesia. Over 1,200 marine species have been recorded here, more than at #8 Banda Sea's wrecks. Its volcanic black sand slopes harbor rare creatures that are 40% smaller than typical reef dwellers, demanding a macro lens. This biodiversity surpasses the average Indonesian muck site by a factor of two, making every dive a treasure hunt.
