Indonesia Escapes & Hideaways
Lembeh Strait, Indonesia
Black Sand Dive Retreat is a small 6-bungalow, quality dive resort located on a sheltered bay in a natural setting on Lembeh Strait, Indonesia's Exotic Critter Capital.
Located in Kambahu Bay, the resort is perfectly located right in the middle of some of Lembeh's best dives sites, most of which are within five minutes by speedboat. Directly off the fine black sand beach lies the exceptional House Reef, offering calm and current-free conditions so that dedicated critter hunters and shutterbugs can have fantastic dives at whatever time they choose. Because of a lack of currents, it can be dived at any time, day or night and it is at night that it is especially incredible.
Also close by are other established dive sites including Hairball 3, TK1 and TK2. With two paid boat dives daily, guests can take a tank and have a free self-guided House Reef dive while guests on 3-dive per day packages have unlimited access.
