Dive into the unique marine environment of Lembeh Strait, Indonesia. Located in the centre of the Coral Triangle, Lembeh Strait is a two kilometre wide and 16 kilometre long channel with a volcanic sand bottom where animals have had to adapt to survive. Learn how different sea life, such as fish, octopus, crabs and sea slugs have evolved in appearance and behaviour in order to escape predators and thrive. Whether through camouflage, using trash for shelter or mimicking other marine animals, the critters of Lembeh Strait will fascinate you with their amazing adaptations. Witness what has made this area a magnet for underwater photographers.
