Tarkan & Kathrin
Tarkan and Kathrin, originally from Turkey/UK and Germany, have been managing Lembeh Resort since 2019, and two other Indonesian dive resorts since 2012. As qualified dive instructors with a strong background in hospitality and extensive international experience, both know what it takes to deliver truly exceptional dive holidays with a touch of luxury. Their passion for underwater photography brought them to Lembeh, where they quickly felt right at home. Both are proud to be leading Lembeh Resort and working with such an amazing team.
Gitti
Brigitte Gassner (known to everyone here as ‘Gitti’) has been our Dive Center Manager since 2017. Originally from Munich, Germany, Gitti was first bitten by the diving bug back in 1998 during a trip to the Philippines and has since been diving all over the world. Originally a photographer, she brings an eye for detail and an appreciation of beauty to her role at Lembeh Resort, and is always happy to hear stories or admire the latest critter shots brought back by guests. Whether on land or sea, Gitti is devoted to making your diving experience second to none.
