Scuba Diving Lembeh Strait in North Sulawesi

The Mecca for underwater photography

Lembeh Strait in North Sulawesi is known as the muck diving capitol of the world. It is home to one of the most, if not the most, dense critter population of the world. This narrow body of water lies between the east coast of North Sulawesi mainland and Lembeh Island. In the south of the Lembeh Strait lies the city & harbor of Bitung. Just north of that lies the Mecca for underwater photography. Thousands of scuba divers & underwater photographers have traveled here to photograph the natural wonders that roam around the black volcanic sand of the Lembeh Strait.
