Comments [None]Our third trip to NAD Lembeh, but first time in High Season, January. The Resort did fine with the extra people, the food is as good as usual, and so are the Dive Masters. The diving for little creatures was excellent, as usual.
But the LARGE AMOUNT OF PLASTIC BAGS WAS DEPRESSING. My first visit was 2012, and there were about 11 Resorts; now there are about 17 in Lembeh Straits. The Resorts will have to get together and stop the local people from throwing plastic bags into the Straits, or into the streams that unload into the Straits. They were floating all over, and down on the bottom, hurting photography. On top they looked like Jellyfish until you got close. Sure am glad that I have hundreds of pictures from my earlier trips, because I won't return. Really a Shame, for it was an incredible experience.
