We have a very long list of critters that we've never seen before, now checked off. Thanks to your wonderful dive team it never ceased to amaze us floating over a seascape that looked like was with water barred & pretty ugly. the Opo world make a look line for some subtle change in color, form or texture sure enough, there would be juvenile boxfish, mimic octopus or a pink frogfish or any number of critters in the star wars bar. It was all FABULOUS & FUN.
Thank you so much!

| What an experience! Who would've thought that muck diving was going to be my favorite. But it was not the weird, ugly, stunning and tiny mini-creatures; it was the people! The hard work and dedication shows in every dive, briefing, and smile one finds when asking even the silliest question. The post dive tea on-board and the catering...thank you! As with the slideshow, the most eloquent thought I can come up with is wow! Keep up the good work and we will be in touch! - Veronica & Charlie
Our diving was absolutely amazing! There are so many things that we can't recall everything we have seen. We saw 4 different (kinds) of octopus, stargazers, and so much more! The staff is great and the guides are always pointing things out. Thank you for an amazing trip and such a wonderful stay. We hope to return again soon! - Amanda & Steve

Below is one of groups testimonial:
Garry Jennette:
Atribute to Andi. We dive with Andi in Buyat Bay and Lembeh, if you didn't know the name of the fish or critter, Andi could identifying it for you. Andi was the most helpful and knowledgeable Dive guides i had ever dove with. Andi made my Indonesian dive experience wonderful.

| Lembeh diving made me fall in love with critters. I've never had so much fun hunting down and photographing little creatures. In fact, I never even liked micro-diving and had serious doubts about "MUCK" but twenty minutes into my first dive I was a whole hearted convert and am likely hooked for life.
The staff at CRITTERS@LEMBEH is completely in-paralleled in finding creatures, and are some of the most friendly and kind people I've meet in the world. Lembeh is a unique and unforgettable experience and if you are considering coming but note sure about "MUCK" diving don't think twice. The fact that they have an unbelievable high number of repeat guest speeds for itself. Lembeh is unlike anywhere in the world, and I'll most definitely be back!

Terrific Experience, the dive organization was great and the divemasters are fantastic!
Our 1st "MUCK" experience & it is most unique.

because it was already the 5th time in a couple of years I was visiting Lembeh Resort, I thought it would be nice to add a new-spot closeby.
as I am a real "critter-hunter" and my photography is mostly concentrated on that, for me it was a new challenge to go to the newly-discovered Buyat Bay.
I always like to listen to people's stories and experiences on diveplaces, but for this place I had no opportunity. simply because I didn't meet people who already had been there.
so I was one of the pioneers for that place.
Buyat Bay used to be a gold-mining village/area which (in contrast of what a lot of people (might) have thought) was very well-controlled concerning waste coming from the mine. therefore the area is a flourishing area above water as well as below the surface. and you can tell once you enter the water. one of the greatest reef-ball projects started here and there used to be a lot of marine-patrol. because of this protection the area could flourish this well.
and although wide-angle sceneries do not always attract me that much (and that's just a personal thing) I was really stunned by the beauty and health of the nature in Buyat Bay. the colours of the (soft- and hard)corals are really amazing, the visibility fantastic (apart from a few crittersites, but that's what we are used to, aren't we ;-) ) and fishlife abundant. honest? it made me remind of Egypt in the old days.
and what's even better: you are almost the only one diving there. the first few days I was there alone with my diveguide. what more can you wish for as a diver?
there are even a few muck-sites. I didn't have time to see them all, but one site gave us a view in a yellow seafan with 4 pygmy bargibanti, of which one was pregnant. and not shy at all.
don't expect a luxurious place as lembeh resort to stay in. it's basic. the rooms have a fan and ac, a veranda, double-bed, basic bathroom and some places to store your clothes and gear. basically everything you need. it's only a 5 minute walk to the "harbour" where your gear is already aboard. the only thing you have to take yourself is your camera.
it gave me a fantastic opportunity to work on wide-angle shots. I've seen beautiful sceneries, cleaningstations with bowls of glassfish, leaffish in different colors, beautiful nightdives, amazing walls with healthy corals. table-corals as big as my room in lembeh resort ! big fields of staghorn coral, huge sponges and seafans. all in different colors.
I was pleasently surprised to see this so close (4 hour drive or 4 hours by boat) from lembeh strait (when you travel by boat you are able to do a dive on your way).
I could recommend it to anyone who would like to see something different close to their favourite muck-place Lembeh Strait.
