Hotel Black Sand Dive Retreat (Bitung, Indonesia)

About Black Sand Dive Retreat

BSDR is an exclusive 6-bungalow quality dive resort located on Lembeh Strait - Indonesia’s exotic "Critter Capital". Our resort is spread across three ha. of an old coconut plantation on a private black sand beach in sheltered Kambahu Bay. Now in our tenth year of operation, BSDR offers specialized services leading to an exceptional dive holiday experience for our discerning guests. How are we different? Only six bungalows means a maximum of twelve guests in the resort, so more personal attention. Only 4 divers per speedboat guarantees small diving groups, so no pile-ups at special critters and less kicked-up sand. Our House Reef is one of Lembeh's best dive sites with calm and current-free conditions. Free self-guided shore dives off our beach helps to stretch your diving dollar. We are located in the middle of Lembeh's best dive sites, so the speedboat ride to most of the top sites in the strait takes less than ten minutes. Transfers to and from BSDR are smooth owing to the well-surfaced asphalt road from Bitung to the resort; no boat ride necessary. Our open and elevated property offers not only great views, but catch seasonal breezes, so it's cooler and there are fewer mosquitos.
