Dive Into Lembeh has 10 spacious sea view private bungalows and one Suite equipped with TV, air conditioning, ceiling fan, mini bar, safe, and a western bathroom with hot water rain shower. Drinking water is provided in all bungalows in the form of a five gallon hot and cold water dispenser, with tea and coffee facilities available.

The resort is the only one on the island to offer an individual Japanese style Onsen (hot tub) for each seaview bungalow. Relax in your own hot tub on the veranda, that also boasts comfy bean bags, and a drying rack for your convenience.

There are also three Longhouse rooms available. These affordable rooms are contained within a single building and do not offer a seaview. They are attractively furnished and have AC, mini bar and a western bathroom with hot water shower, and a water dispenser for hot and cold water.

The Owner / Manager team at Dive Into Lembeh have over 25 years’ experience in high end liveaboard and resort management. Consequently, Dive Into Lembeh feels something like a liveaboard on land, highly regarded for its operation and also the quality of diving on offer.

Three boat dives per day are scheduled on twin engine fiberglass dive boats to a choice of more than 60 dive spots in the Lembeh Strait. After every dive, the boats return back to the resort so guests can enjoy a surface interval by the swimming pool or make any adjustments to camera gear before the next dive. 

An additional night dive by boat is available daily, providing there is a minimum of two people.

If you have booked a diving package (starting from three nights with two days of diving), then there is complimentary access to the world-famous house reef dive sites including “Hairball” and “Aw Shucks” between the hours of 8am and 6pm.

Dive Into Lembeh’s fully equipped dive centre offers diver training and equipment rental and Nitrox (payable locally). It has a spacious camera room and dedicated camera rinse tanks. There is also a guest dive gear locker room, with gear rinse tanks and showers for after the dive. The dive guides are trained in camera handling and are specialised in working in Lembeh’s unique underwater environment.

Diving in the Lembeh Strait means you are diving with a guide who is trained to show you species such as Frog Fish, Hairy Frog Fish, Mimic Octopus, Blue Ringed Octopus, Banded Sea Snake, Mandarin Fish, Orangutan Crabs, Mantis Shrimps and many other critters.

The Lembeh Strait has long been established as one of the best macro diving spots on the planet. Although famous for its muck diving on black volcanic slopes, the area also boasts some wonderful coral dive sites. Dive Into Lembeh’s House Reef is the biggest coral reef inside of the Lembeh Strait and great coral dive sites such as Angels Window and California Dreaming are a short boat ride away from the resort.
