The season is upon us and we’ve been preparing for it.
Both speedboats in Lembeh have recently undergone full dry-docks and returned to the water sporting a striking new livery. Last week our Lembeh Day Liveaboard had been docked too.
In Manado our boats are also being docked, repaired where necessary and re-painted in readiness to welcome many guests this summer.
We hope you’ll be amongst them and enjoy diving from the best dive boats in North Sulawesi.
Farewell, thanks and good luck in the future, Christian. Welcome, Sam Lewis! They say that time flies and that all good things must come to an end. Well, it’s true. In the past 1.5 years Christian Loader has become an integral member of the Eco Divers Family and a popular photo instructor, having helped many of our guests improve their photo skills. Those of you who follow our FB page will also have witnessed Christian’s considerable talent in photography, through his regular postings of strikingly artistic underwater images.
Now Christian’s time at Eco Divers has sadly come to an end, as ScubaZoo takes him back-to-base (in Kota Kinabalu) to take on a new role as photographer/videographer on film and book projects. We’d like to thank Christian for his efforts. We will miss him being here, but still expect him to be a regular visitor to Eco Divers. We wish him success and happiness and look forward to seeing many of his great images and films in the future.
Replacing Christian from ScubaZoo is Sam Lewis. Sam arrived at Eco Divers this week from the Maldives, where he provided photo and video services on-board The Four Seasons Explorer Liveaboard. From the UK, Sam has a Master’s Degree in Animal Behaviour and a Bachelor’s Degree in Zoology, so his knowledge is not limited to taking photos or videos. He specialises in film-making and is proficient with Adobe Premier CS5 and Final Cut Pro to edit videos. Sam has a great passion for all water sports, in particular water polo. He provides photo & video services for The Digital Centre (www.digitalcentreindonesia.com) at Eco Divers Manado & Lembeh. Welcome, Sam!

We’re delighted that interest in our free biology workshop with world-famous Ned & Anna DeLoach has been so much that the first two weeks are both almost fully-booked. Those people lucky enough to have a confirmed place on this “Critter Hunt” are in for a treat…
Great news: Ned & Anna have agreed to extend their workshop at Eco Divers Resort Lembeh into a third week, from 16 to 23 June!! This means that 14 more places are now available. But book now, as it’s first come, first served. There definitely won’t be a fourth week, so this is really is the last chance for anyone who wants to learn all about fish behaviour to join Ned & Anna at Eco Divers Resort Lembeh.

Mark and Diana share their experience of Christmas Day at Eco Divers Resort Lembeh.My wife and I combined a stay here with a stay in another resort on North Sulawasi. We have dived in many other places around the world and stayed in many dive resorts, this is by far the best.
We were
collected from the other resort by Eco Divers Lembeh, once there we were
greated by Jim and Cary (the owners) and informed that as it was
Christmas day we were invited to there Christmas dinner with the other
guests and thier friends. The food was amazing as it was throughout the
trip, the atmosphere was equall to the food and our hosts made us feel
both comfortable and looked after.
The diving was fantactic, the
boats, guiding and safety were second to none. All in all definitely
the best dive resort we have been to and we would have no hesitation
recomending it. As alot of the other people have said on here, this is
how a resort should be run! Thank you to everyone at Eco Divers for a
fantastic stay and we will be back soon.
Mark and Diana
Room Tip: All of the cottages are the same, and are all of a very high standard.
