Three Beautiful Coral Reef Dives off East Lembeh Island , p.r. dives 929, 30, 31 May 7, 2026

I requested a day of coral reef diving since I knew there were excellent coral reefs within easy boat cruise reach of Lembeh Resort. The Resort swiftly scheduled a day of coral reef diving. Below:

We were fortunate to catch a vey calm day to cruise south out of Lembeh Strait around to the exposed east coast of Lembeh Island. Below:
