NAD-Lembeh Resort is a small, family run dive resort, situated in a private bay on Lembeh Island and away from the hustle and bustle of the mainland. NAD-Lembeh Resort and the Lembeh Strait are famous all over the world for the peerless macro and muck diving combined with comfortable good value accommodation and food.
The Lembeh Strait region offers more than just face-to-face encounters with weird and wonderful critters. There is also wall diving, technical diving, and big fish dives – but most importantly; a lot of muck and sand habitats for you to perfect your photographic technique during your dives.
NAD-Lembeh Resort features 10 Beachfront Rooms and 5 Seaview Bungalows with an extra day room/ office attached. All rooms offer ocean view, air-conditioning, hot water, wifi, including full board. Our resort has only few steps, which makes our layout extremely convenient to get from your room to the restaurant, camera room, bar and floating jetty.
The dive team consists of 15 full-time guides with over 100 years of combined experience. Guaranteed 2:1 guest to guide ratio which is unique in Lembeh, if not the world. This makes for a private dive experience and lots of time for everyone to take pictures. Air as well as Nitrox and various cylinder sizes (both DIN and Yoke) are available onsite.

Deluxe Bungalows
Stand-alone bungalows are located in a secluded portion of the resort, a short distance away from the main building. With an impressive view over the bay, suitable for couples who want to spend their evenings sitting on a private deck with the best view in the Straits. All our bungalows feature an additional day room, suitable to be used as small office or for a child.
Beachfront Rooms
Beachfront rooms are directly by the beach and pool. Ideal for those who do not like steps or just want to be closer to the restaurant, bar and camera room. Twin as well as double beds are available. Adjacent rooms are perfect for groups traveling together. Shampoo, Conditioner and body soap are provided.
The dive team is the largest and the most experienced in Lembeh. They are great spotters, and the resort has enough of them to offer a 2:1 guest to dive guide ratio. Supervisors are selected based on a number of reasons, but almost all guides have over 10 years of experience diving in the strait, with thousands of dives and experience in a variety of conditions.
The newly renovated camera room is possibly the biggest one in the world and the centre piece of the resort. Owner Simon has tailored this room especially to the underwater photographer’s needs, it is located right next to the restaurant and bar, so your equipment will never be far away from you. There are 30 individual workstations, so each guest gets a huge space. Every station comes with led lights, rubber mat, camera towel and 4 international/ 8 European power sockets including USB ports – charging all your gadgets at the same time has never been easier.
For those who like to spend a bit more time checking settings, preparing their cameras or reviewing photos, the benches and chairs are the perfect spot to “work” even if you’re on holidays. You will also find basic tools, a drying cabinet, tv, computer and fish ID books. The gift shop sells diopters, float arms and torches in case you have lost something or forgotten it at home.
Huge rinse tanks can be found in front of the camera room so that your toys can be cleaned straight after coming back from diving, including an air gun in case you need it. With lots of seating spaces either inside or outside the camera room and close by power points.
