Comments My wife and myself were already diving with Eco divers last year and we were so happy with their service and with great Lembeh muck diving so we returned this year again.
Unfortunatelly my spine betrayed me already on our way from Europe to Indonesia (in Singapore) and I practically arrived to Lembeh in the wheel chair and in a lot of pain.
We really didn't know what to do as we were not sure what happened to me,
but luckily for us , all the staff from the owner Andrea, manager Susan , assistant Diana and others were so helpful .
As the resort is on the island and closest international hospital is in Manado (1,5 hour drive) they organised the transport and Diana with her husband patiently accompanied us and helped us to get MR and the spine specialist afterwards (not an easy task in Indonesia and it took us 48 hours) - at the end they found out that I got extrusion of the disk L3 - L4 - they suggested not to travel and to make an operation at home if needed .

My wife managed to dive and she saw all the critters that we missed last year and White sands staff spoiled me at the swimming pool where I was doing exercises prescribed by the doctor.
They also replaced matresses in all rooms this year which was also very helpful for my back.

Unfortunatelly my camera was idle this time but I will be coming back hopefully next year - or as soon as I will get better.

Anyway, even if you find yourself in big trouble you can always count on the nice people of White Sands and I thank them again !
