Eco Divers Resort Lembeh offers a land-based scuba diving vacation like no other. Similar to a skiing holiday, you will spend all day away from your accommodation, enjoying an activity-filled day scuba diving the Lembeh Strait, before returning to your accommodation in the late afternoon to your very own cottage and open air restaurant.
Eco Divers Resort is a combination of the comfort of a resort and the convenience of a liveaboard. In between dives you can relax on board Lembeh's only day-liveaboard. Each evening you will return to your accommodation and open-air restaurant and lounge.
The resort is located in a quiet area of Bitung town and provides twin or double accommodation, all with private en-suite bathroom facilities. There are 3 rooms In each of the 4 buildings and all feature a common living room with sofa area, coffee and tea making facilities and a camera room with computer. The main social spot is an open air restaurant and lounge with bar, TV and DVD player. There is also an Indonesian spa and digital photo/video centre.
Surface time is spent on board the MV Nautica where you can enjoy the freshwater showers, toilet, sundeck, take lunch on board, study up on some fish books or tend to your photographic equipment. Oxygen and first aid equipment is also stored on board. Free wi-fi internet is available both at the resort and on board MV Nautica. Great for groups, macro-photographers and those seeking a more intimate vacation experience than the bigger resorts can offer, Eco Divers may just be the future of Lembeh Strait scuba diving.
