Teluk Kembahu

Teluk Kembahu ('TK') is a bay named after the nearby village, dived as three neighbouring sites (TK 1–3). A sandy slope runs from about 5 to 22 m with rope-sponge patches and small coral heads in the shallows. The mimic octopus was first observed in Lembeh here, and wonderpus, coconut octopus, blue-ringed octopus, ornate ghost pipefish and cockatoo waspfish are among the regulars.
