Lembeh strait is one of the most interesting marine habitats. A real macro paradise and a great place to do scuba diving! There are over 30 dive sites around the Lembeh strait, most of them are either sandy areas or small reefs. Don't expect spectacular walls or huge reefs, here you are doing so called muck diving - searching for the rare and the special. But it's also a good place to see other shy critters such as the mimic octopus, the flamboyant cuttlefish, harlequin shrimps, wonderpus, skeleton shrimps and many nudibranchs.

The fish at this place are also a collection of weirdoes: Ambon scorpionfish (Pteroidichthys amboinensis), stonefish, sea robins, stargazers, devil fish and even the weedy scorpionfish (Rhinopias frondosa). There are also beautiful seahorses, pegasus, ghost pipefish and the endemic cardinalfish. It can be reached by car from manado to Bitung Harbour in around 45 minutes till 1 hour trip and continue by ship to the Lembeh Straits in 15-25 minutes.
