Monday morning I'm sitting all alone at the breakfast at 7.30 am for the German couple from sleeping because she was only at 10 o'clock. My guide Franky and I sail promptly at 8 am from the small boat (which they call speedboat, but not really fast). The water temperature in Lembeh Strait is considerably lower than around Bunaken. And even with a cap 7 millimeters and 5 millimeters in my suit, I get the cold after 70 minutes. If we do something for 10 hours coming back to Two Fish is the German couple ready to go. Then Opo, say the main guide here, called the car only at 13.30 in Bitung, so their departure is delayed 13 hours. They sigh and complain in German under the assumption that I do not understand.
At 11 am we leave for our second morning dive at Nudi Falls, a place famous for the amount nudibranches. I'm really not disappointed. Endless colorful variations! And an enormous octopus that swims around freely and is for Octopus concepts rather willingly let shooting.
If I come back for lunch before the Germans really, I have the whole place here now for the remainder of my stay, a small 48 hours for myself. After lunch I plop down in a hammock on the beach and I fall asleep almost immediately. The little bit of the afternoon that still remains after I wake up my night dive I read comfortably in one of my books on my ipod. Very relaxing.
The night dive was again surprising. If you are under water seems deserted black sand. But if you look closely at every square meter moves something. Crabs, lobsters, shrimps, frogfish, nudibranches, flamboyant cuttlefish, starfish, etc. I am happy though somewhat easier with the camera and dive light so a few pictures of this night dive even really become.
As we sail back (the furthest dive site is also only fifteen minutes sailing), there are many small boats of fishermen between mainland and Lembeh (the strait, Lembeh Strait) that lies Two Fish. All boats, however small, are equipped with large bright lights (model bouwlamp). With the light they try to attract fish which they then create a network for themselves to eat or sell at the market in Bitung, the slightly larger village across from Two Fish, on the mainland.
If I'm showered and at 20 hours, the table ga cook a wide, 1-person, for dinner I cooked with rice, noodles, chicken-in-one jacket, eggs, salad and chips. Here you can see a man or 3 over food so I'll do my best to be a giant big dent in the big bowls / dishes to eat. At 21.30 hours, the staff massively sleep, so I go to my hut and read some more on my porch.
Tuesday morning, is it really so far ... my last morning dive. We go out for 2 dives and if we go into the water appears as soon as we have a good day: ghost pipefish, hairy frogfish, mimic octopus, common frog fish, nudibranches, a colony seamoths, a disco-clamp, endless many crabs and shrimp species. What a wonderful way to my dive trip 2007 to complete. In particular, the 2nd dive at the dive site Hairball 1 (how do you make it) was a typsiche Lembeh dive. Only black sand, no coral, anemone and what a single sea urchin and then but look. It felt like Easter Egg Hunt: You know they're there (in this case animals and no eggs) but you see them at first sight. There are moments when you have 5 or 10 minute swim without a radical or photo-worthy to see. And a few minutes later you eyes (and batteries for the camera) deficit.
If we overcome the rain. For a moment, looks like the Lembeh out last year during our entire stay was: wet and foggy. If I get my 1-person lunch is it really starts to rain. One hour is the opposite (and Lembeh Strait is only about 300 meters wide) wrapped in clouds and entirely hidden from view. If it gets dry, it is within half an hour completely cleared with only a few high clouds veil, which last year was quite different when it cleared no more.
I walk through the puddles, which incidentally also an hour later completely gone, to my hut and start rinsing of all camera parts and figuring out the things I do not want to take home.
Almost 7 weeks I am now from home with 10 days diving in Wakatobi and a week in Bali Jur, 2 weekends Singaore and over 3 weeks only in Bunaken and Lembeh.
Just a few facts and figures of 7 weeks Indonesia:
I have in the past 6 weeks 70 dives, varying in depth between 52 meters (deep dive in Wakatobi) to 12 meters (Mandarin-night dive in Bunaken).
I've done 6 courses (Emergency First Response, Rescue, Deep specialty, specialty Wreck, Night Search & Recovery specialty and specialty) and may call me now Master Scuba Diver, for what it is worth 
I slept in 8 different beds and more than 3 weeks with no hot shower had at my disposal.
I've met dozens of people and a total of 4 different instructors (Lucy, Tina, Nigel and Pim) training done and 9 guides dived (Deni, Erwin, son of Bali whose name I do not remember, Maruf, Agus, Shem, Kris, conduct risk and Franky) and 15 buddies had (Jur, Tienie, Clement, Ben, "Silicon Valley" (a Chinese silicone breasts topless was sunbathing on the boat whose name I never knew), John, Nikki, Kaveh Kevin, Klaus, Cecilia, Lucy, Pim, Tina, Nigel) but in recent weeks often without a buddy with a guide only hiding.
I actually have, without exception, beautiful dives and even now, after 369 dives again seen things that I had never seen such as the mimic octopus and the blue-ringed octopus.
I have a total of 600 underwater photos taken, and that is after a first rough selection, but there will be even more if I discarded them in a slightly larger than the display of my camera see.
I am only this time my snorkel and my steel "underwater pointing stick" lost.
I have about 200 ml of vinegar and 400 ml of alcohol used to clean my ears after diving and to prevent an ear infection (which unfortunately only after diving in Bali was not entirely successful, but 3 days of antibiotic drops and then I have no problems had more).
I have a downpour on Lembeh had on my last day and a lot of rain in Singapore but overall I definitely can not complain about the weather!
I have 6 bottles of sunscreen made (so no, I'm not dark become but fortunately never burned were) and 4 bottles of anti-mosquito (but in Lembeh and Singapore shall not prevent that rotbeesten not of my blood still eager to drink).
I have read 7 books and many hours spent with my ipod.
On Bunaken we on 9 evenings typsiche Bunaken party had with guitar, bass and homemade homemade tambourine. I know finally the text of 2 typical Indonesian Bunaken-songs and have "golden oldies" including Leaving on a jet plan, What's up, Hotel California, Hey Jude, Wonderwall, etc. oneinding often heard.
Summary: I have enjoyed! Both the 3 weeks with Jur as 4 weeks only (although it very nice for this kind of travel together to do). And if I ever get the chance long way to go, then I grab that (again) with both hands
