Comments I visited this resort for 12 days/nights with a large group of photographers at the beginning of November. The resort is well laid out and the rooms were comfortable with AC. The boats were excellent and definitely a step or two up from those of other local operators with shelves and hooks and room under the wooden benches for ones box of equipment. They definitely made it easier to keep track of personal dive stuff.

Service all around is excellent -- two divers per guide. My guide, Gigs, found more critters than I had ever seen before on trips to Lembeh and he even knew their (sometimes scientific) names. Any issues with the room or boat (and they were only minor) were quickly addressed. Food (mostly Indonesia with some accommodations for western tastes) was delicious and plentiful. It was a pleasure staying/diving here.

UW Photo Comments NAD-Lembeh caters to photographers with their excellent facilities: large camera wash tubs and air guns next to the camera room, camera workstations with power strips for battery chargers, towels, and tools, contact cleaners and more. There is even a drying cabinet. Boats had large wash/rinse buckets for cameras and dive crew have clearly been educated on how to handle cameras.
