Comments	This is truly muck diving. It is also some great diving. The bottom is mostly gray sand with sporadic coral heads. It is absolutely critter heaven! Waspfish, dragonets, frog fish, eels, ghost pipefish, pygmy seahorses, octopus (including Blue Ring and Mimic) and a collection of different critters by the dozens. Its photo heaven! As Steve said "we avoid current like the plague". That said, bouyancy control is critical as the bottom can get stirred up easy. The boats return to the resort after every dive, the rides are short making the surface intervals very nice. The boats are comfortable, albeit a little tricky to get in and out of. The dive facilites are first rate with a camera room and breifing huts that minimize sitting time on the boats. The oustanding staff handles and stores all your gear. The dives are all guided with no more than four in a group. The guide's ability to find things is uncanny. Don't miss the house reef, its very, very nice plus do the Mandarin dive. The resort is clean and comfortable. The food was plentiful but average. Our room was a nice size and comfortable with A/C. Not all the rooms have A/C so check before you go. The grounds were beautiful overlooking Lembeh Strait onto Lembeh Island. We really liked it. We'll go back!
