After the coral gardens of Apo island and a quick stop in Moalboal, we headed to
Indonesia/Sulawesi and more precisely Lembeh Strait. Indeed this channel is
known by many divers as Muck-Mecca and as we could witness by ourselves, it
indeed is. Most every dive is shallow and long. We both hit the 100 minutes
mark for the first time ever as our diveshop had the policy “unlimited diving”.
The treasures in the sand are amazing: frogfishes on almost every dive, even
the very rare all black hairy frogfish, cuttlefishes, ghost pipefishes,
many crabs, shrimps and nudies, Ambon Scorpionfishes and much more.
Unfortunately we were not able to spot the Mimic octopuss or the Wonderpuss but
nevertheless Lembeh Strait remains one of our favorites. You definitely get
what you pay (a lot!) for and very often the critters and the creatures you
meet are unknown to you.
Unfortunately Cheun flooded his camera after the first day
of diving, so all the pictures you’ll get here are from the first day only (except for the 2 last, Sonia Müller gave them to us after diving together)- and
as a starter it is not bad at all!
