| We all dive crew from SDQ Lembeh Dive Resort, Would like to thank you to all divers / guests who ever stay with us on Lembeh island. We do appriciate all your comments / pictures, and we do hope someday will see you again. |

Although many of the
critters we saw in Lembeh this time were different
from the ones we saw there a few years ago, the
diving is still as good as we remembered and we
will return again as soon as we can. A big THANK
U to all the guides at SDQ. For our group of 4
photographers they managed to continually find
critters to photograph so that throughout the
dive we were busy taking pictures, never having
to wait for each other, never having time to look
for ourselves. This is not an easy task and it
is thanks to them that our dives in Lembeh were
among the best ever.

Hallo
Everybody,
We had again an excellent time in Lembeh at SDQ. Since six years now Lembeh is our holiday destination. After more than 250 dives in Lembeh, we can still say that every dive is full of surprises and new critters. This area is unique and its marine biodiversity is bottomless. Lembeh is for sure a world class dive destination ( especially for macro diving ) and we hope for many years to come. Special thanks to the dive team, with the divemasters of SDQ you can be sure to see the BEST Lembeh has to offer. We will be back very soon!

To
everyone at SDQ Lembeh,
I just wanted to say thank you for a wonderful two weeks in Lembeh Strait. I can’t wait to come back for a second encounter. The staff is great, I feel like I have left some great kawan (friends) in Sulawesi. I’m sure they will be there when I come back. The diving is incredible. I had the opportunity to photograph so many species
that I had never even seen before: pygmy seahorses, clown frogfish, hairy frogfish, wonderpus, and nudibranches galore. My favorite dive is Jahir 1 with its mimic octopus and blue ring octopus. Everybody did a great job making sure that I had a
good trip. I had an awesome trip. I’ll be seeing you guys soon.

It is a paradise here ; from the marine life,
to the people, and to the food here. Paulus
has been an excellent dive guide - works really
hard to find intersting and rare marine life
for us to see. The marine life found here is
amazing pygme seahorse, seawasp, frogfish, devil
fish, and nudibranch galore !! Wish I had a
camera ! The rooms and toilets are clean and
comfortable. The food's great ! Actually I got
my apetite back when I got here. Will definetly
recommend this place to friends who missed this
little piece of great macro underwater paradise...

All the dive sites are Fantastic. The service and the friendlines
from the team is perfect. It is a nice place to stay, and I will
come back. Now that is possible for non rich people like me to enjoy
the treasures of lembeh strait. But I could not do it alone. Without
the sharp eyes of the dive guides, I would only have seen one or
two critters. Thank you for some very enjoyable diving..

I came back from Lembeh Strait, Indonesia for
excellent muck diving in Aug. We're lucky to see
2 species of Rhinopias, bubble shell, weedy
pigmy seahorse(Hippocampus Pontohi),
halimeda ghost pipefish, mimic and coconut
octopus,etc. Everyone enjoyed muck diving
especially night dive for more strange marine
creatures. After checking with marine biologist,
the purple one is not Lacy scorpian fish - its common
name should be Paddle Flap scorpian fish (rhinopias eschemeyeri). The red one is weedy scorpian fish (rhinopias frondosa). Lacy scorpian fisih (rhinopias aphanes) in PNG - this species is often mistaken in Indonesia for rhinopias frondosa.
Dear Anky,
I've already sent you my new album. Pls forward to all SDQ divemasters for sharing my diving experience in Lembeh. Your dive team and boat crews DID AN EXCELLENT job to assist all of us during our diving activity. Tks again for their patience and assistance. Enjoy !

My personal experience diving with SDQ is SUPERB. Rudy has done a great job showing us all we can see in Lembeh (this compensate for our slight disappointment in Bunaken). I show my other diver friends what we saw and everyone went "wow, you guys are so lucky". I guess luck is shining on us throughout that 8 days with SDQ... but of course Rudy's "EAGLE EYES" played a great part. The cook at the resort has been really nice fixing our "special order" (instant noodle). Please pass on our gratitude. The rest of the stuff were extremely helpful with whatever we need, including Anky and Luis and Nan. I will recommend more friends to come by and you will see me again for sure. Keep up with the good work.

Friendly Staff, so cooperative weather and the underwater life ( critters paradise for underwater photography ) made me this trip a memorable and exciting one.
Many Thanks to Johan and Johny who be my dive guides. Those little critters, especially that Pygme Sea Horse are amazing to capture on film. Thanks again, by Alex and Selena.
