Underwater Photography

Capture stunning underwater shots with expert guidance and world-class facilities at Lembeh Resort

We understand the passion you have for your underwater photography journey. This is why we strive to provide unparalleled support to help you capture every moment with precision and creativity.

Upon arrival at Lembeh Strait, guests at Lembeh Resort share a passion for photography, seeking to capture the unique critters this Indonesian haven is renowned for. Situated in Northern Sulawesi, the seemingly unassuming Lembeh Strait surprises divers with its exceptional underwater marvels. The dark volcanic sand conceals an extraordinary world of peculiar creatures, earning Lembeh the title of “Critter Capital of the World.”

Muck diving dominates these sites, offering a diverse array of captivating critters like the mimic octopus, pygmy seahorse, flamboyant cuttlefish, hairy frogfish, and rhinopias. It’s important to note that most dives primarily feature these unique critters over the seemingly barren dark sand, occasionally scattered with debris.

Despite the absence of vibrant corals or large sea creatures, Lembeh stands unmatched for macro photographers seeking small, distinctive subjects, such as nudibranchs and other peculiar critters. It’s a premier destination for underwater photography, celebrated globally for its variety of remarkable subjects.

The proficiency of our dive guides in spotting these unique critters and assisting you in capturing the perfect shot is unparalleled. We emphasise our ethical approach: strictly refraining from chasing, touching, or disturbing marine life while ensuring exceptional photo opportunities.

To enhance your photography experience, we offer a dedicated Camera Room for battery changes or adjustments post-dive. Our expert dive guides at Lembeh are adept at handling heavy equipment, ensuring you can focus on capturing that perfect shot.

Featuring air conditioning, moisture filters, and spacious workstations with universal power points (110 V). For your convenience, fresh water rinse basins can be found at the Dive Hut, while air guns await at the camera room entrance, ready to assist in cleaning and drying your equipment. Nightly room lock-ups and routine resort inspections ensure security.

Maintaining a photographer-to-guide ratio of 1 guide to 2 photographers (1:2) guarantees personalised attention, ensuring your photographic endeavours are exceptional.
