Strait of Lembeh - Critter Capital of the World
Indonesia
Airport : Manado
Lembeh Strait is famous for its extremely high density of rare and exotic marine life, giving it the nickname “Critter Capital of the World.” In particular, it is teeming with nudibranchs, frogfish, rare species of octopus, seahorses and countless varieties of crabs, shrimps, fish and other creatures. It is one of the few places in the world where you will see the elusive hairy frog fish, pygmy sea horses, thorny seahorse, mimic octopus, wonderpus, harlequin shrimps, and flamboyant cuttlefish, to name a few. The amount and variety of unique marine life, black sand bottoms which help reduce back-glare and make for striking backgrounds, and typically shallow dive sites make Lembeh a real heaven for underwater macro photographers. It is the sandy black slopes and myriad of creatures living there that attracts most divers here for "Muck diving", which takes its name from the sediment lying on the bottom - it can be a mixture of sand, silt, and natueral man made debris. Muck dives in Lembeh tend to be between 5 to 20 m with little to no current. Go slowly, look carefully, and you will be rewarded with a truly unique experience. Muck dives in Lembeh tend to be between 5 to 20 m with little to no current.

Lembeh also has four shipwrecks beautifully covered in corals and critters, two of which are large, and all within limits for recreational diving.
