Muck diving is a little different from our usual modus operandi diving amongst coral reef systems. It’s all about spotting the weird and wonderful on a black sand bottom. And Lembeh Strait is the ants pants when it comes to “Muck Diving”. This narrow waterway running between Sulawesi and Lembeh Island adjacent to the large port city of Bitung is a drawcard for macro fanatics and underwater photographers. With dive resorts everywhere, we were spoilt for choice. We weren’t really set up for macro but we gave it our best shot.
