Underwater creatures of this region are loved by photographers taking macropictures and divers who are fond of muck diving. Muck diving is searching and examining dark bottom covered with corals and other brightly colored details. The hairy frogfish in the picture is famous with its thready skin protrusion. It usually hides on the bottom and hunts using a part of its spinal fin as a which is moved and attracts small fishes.

The Strait is not rather big. It is just 1.5-2 km wide and 15 km long. Manado is the closest international airport. This port is very big and developed. It has over dozens of vessels engaged in fishing and transportation of agricultural products. Its location in the southern part of the strait is convenient for divers.

The coast from the land side is covered with a large variety of villages and different constructions. Fertile lands are covered with plantations. Less umber of buidlings can be observed from the Lembeh side where land is privately owned and is waiting for foreign investors.

Diving resorts that combine comfortable living, excellent restaurants and multi-functional diving center are located along the coast. It's very convenient as no additional expenses are required. The Kungkungan Bay Dive Resort is presented in the picture.

Thus, muck diving is a favorite thing done by photographers and people who are ready to examine unknown things. They have enough patience to take pictures of a shy frogfish or examining a tiny crayfish. Another Commerson's frogfish sitting under the coral colony has pulsating polyps that keep open and close in the process of the creature's nutrition.
