Magical Manado & Lembeh Lair

by Restless-in-kl - last update: Sep 13, 2007

Manado ..... where ah?

Tasik Ria resort
When I told family and friends that I’m off to Manado for diving, I had gotten this puzzled look and the infamous question “Where … ah?” Followed closely by “How come you always go to places that’s never heard before???”

Well, that’s where we divers find great dive sites which are not overrun by typical holiday makers and it’s where diver rules! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Manado is located in North Sulawesi which 1 of my friends called the tip of an octopus tentacle. It’s also the land of volcanoes, black sand and cold water!

Of mysterious black sands

… & equally mysterious looking things in Lembeh. The combination of volcanic black sand and cold waters must have spawned them!

Of all-time favourites - nudibranch

:-) I’m in nudibranch paradise. They are everywhere and the variety is mind-boggling.
