I dove both - Lembeh and Ambon.
Lembeh (3 times) stayed in Bastianos - good management, exelent dive guides (Yap, Oppo, Ranto).
Ambon (1 time) stayed in Blue Rose - more cheap than DIA and Maluku and they are located just in Laha. Accommodation is budget, but i had everything I need (bed, hot water and air-con).
Underwater creatures are different. Both places are good for macro, but they are really different. On Ambon I was no lucky with Psyhedelic FF, but saw different Rhinopias, different nudies, Coleman shims, Zebra crab, Ribbon eels, Harlequin shrimps, etc. And definitely want to come back to Ambon again!
