Over 17,000 island make up Indonesia and off the island of Sulawesi is located one of the most bio-diverse areas in the world! Between muck and reef diving, you will see more new critters than you have seen in your whole dive career.
We fly from LA to Singapore and then to Manado. A short ride will bring us to our home for the week, Kungkungan Bay Resort. KBR was the first dive resort in the Lembah Straight and still does it the best. We can do 3 boat dives per day. They offer shore diving during the day in their bay. Since it has been off limits to fishing for over 25 years, it is one of the “fishiest” dives you’ll ever make.
The resort offers a private jetty with camera rinse tanks and hot showers, air conditioned rooms, a swimming pool with swim up bar, wifi hot spots and 24 hr restaurant service.
Muck diving? Just wait and see!! The Lembah Straight is nestled between the islands of Sulawesi and Lembah. Many sites here have black sandy bottoms and hidden in this “muck” are the truly wonderful and bizarre!
Many of the creatures you will see are small but can be found no where else on earth. Sea horses and nudibranchs are common!! Not to mention the frog fish, devil fish, lion fish, puffer fish, octopus, ribbon eels and that is just the first dive!! KBR is a photographers dream.
