Established in 1991, the Bastianos Dive Resorts started out as a small homestay at Bunaken Island. From there, they added a dive center, upgraded to a dive resort, and officially opened their third location last 2019 in Bangka. Bastianos Dive Resort Lembeh is their second location.
How To Get There
Sam Ratulangi International Airport (also called Manado International Airport) is the nearest entry point. It receives flights from all major Indonesian cities, including Bali and Jakarta, as well as international flights from Singapore. Bastianos Dive Resort Lembeh offers airport transfers in private air-conditioned vehicles, which typically takes 1.5 hours. Guests will then have to take a 10-minute boat transfer from the harbor pier.
Dive Overview
Lembeh is, without doubt, the muck-diving capital of the world. Underwater photographers flock here from all over the world to see a myriad of critters, frogfish, pipefish, nudibranchs, seahorses, juvenile fish, and other exotic animals. Don't expect beautiful reefs in Lembeh itself, but very scenic reefs exist at nearby islands.

Dive Information
Lembeh Straits is known as the muck diving capital of the world and is one of the few places where you will see the elusive hairy frogfish, pygmy seahorses, larger seahorses like the thorny seahorse, mimic octopus, wunderpus and flamboyant cuttlefish to name a few.
Muck dives consist of sandy black slopes with good visibility, approximately 10-15m. It is a macro-photographer's dream, as the slopes are teaming with fascinating critters, and the black sand reduces back-glare. Muck dives are the main reason many divers return to Lembeh, time and time again.
Lembeh also has some fascinating shipwrecks. They are covered in both corals and creatures, making them fantastic to explore.
Last but not least, Lembeh is also surrounded by sites with small walls and slopes full of soft corals. Diving in Lembeh truly does have something for everyone.
Dive Center Information
The Bastianos Lembeh Dive Center is located on-site, offering guests a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore the waters of the Lembeh Strait. With experienced dive guides and well-equipped dive boats, this vacation is one you are sure not to forget.
