About this site
Nudi Falls is a wall dive in the Lembeh Strait, North Sulawesi, draped in soft corals and a showcase for macro life. You enter in front of the banks of the strait and descend a few metres to a mix of sand and rubble, where ribbon eels swim and mantis shrimps live. At depth the rubble gives way to a field of soft corals that suits macro cowries, and rhinopias scorpionfish are known to hide here.
On the south side is a wall with gorgonian sea fans that hold Bargibant's pygmy seahorses. Swimming back along the base of the wall you find the nudibranchs the site is named for, in wide variety, and the anemones there often host rare Banggai cardinalfish. Near the entry point, look for giant and painted frogfish. The current is light.
