North Sulawesi, Indonesia is a beautiful, remote dive destination. The reefs have abundant fish life and fantastically healthy corals. Bangka Island and Batu Mandi both thrive with exotic marine life unique to this corner of the world.

Lembeh Strait in North Sulawesi, Indonesia is home to some of the most exotic marine life on the planet. The dark sandy bottom of the Strait might seem like the most unlikey place to observe beautiful sea creatures. "Muck diving" in Lembeh Strait however can prove to be truly rewarding. My all time favorite is the Hairy Frogfish!

The creatues of Lembeh Strait are among the most exotic in the world. The bottom of the Strait is very uninteresting sand and mud - commonly referred to as "muck". Some creatures are almost invisible as they camouflage themselves on the featureless bottom. Others are strikingly colorful. All are amazing to observe! My favorites are the Purple Rinopias and the Blue Ringed Octopus!
