Comments	Lembeh is t he critt er capital of the world. You are going for little guys and not large fish. The resort is oriented towards divers. The resort itself is a series of individual free standing units built on a STEEP hill. You can request a lower unit but I was assigned #12 at the top of the hill. Beautiful view but an enervating walk that encouraged me to not go back to the room between dives. The food was very good. Moderate diversity with one chef making 'specials'. Breakfast was before the first dive, lunch between dives and dinner, usually, after the night dive. Dive groups were small with 4-6 per boat. Back roll entries. I did see tons of wierd creatures and got some good photos. I never felt rushed taking my photos, even with pygmy sea horses. The guides were reasonably attentive to the diver's needs. My major critique is not the resort's fault. In Indonesia, garbage is dumped in the water ways. Saw lots of garbage on some of the dive sites and surfaced through dilute garbage on another.
