Say 'hello'to the Mola2 for me, and if you get to dive with Eka, send him mine and Dave's best wishes. Safe diving
Sure!!!
If I never dive with Eka, I will also meet up with him for a drink.

Have a look at Nusa Lembongan travel guide - Wikitravel which has lots of information about what is on offer on lembongan. Lots of restaurants and hotels to suit all budgets and tastes and many options for getting to and from the island. Although most of the fast boat operators will carry your bags onto and off the boats from the beach, bear in mind that at high tide with big swells or in very low tides it will not be easy for them to do so. A 30kg bag is heavy and cumbersome! if you do end up staying on lembongan take note that a lot of the hotels on the ridge don't have easy access for the drop off trucks and you may need to carry your bag! Nusa Lembongan is an awesome island with a laid back feel, friendly locals and fantastic sunsets but maybe not suited to the heavily loaded traveller.
I had went there and came back. It is really a nice place to stay in!!! I love it. But the site are quite advance... Especially all the drift dives... Super fast!!! Also know how divers die at crystal bay. Lucky I had a good guide! Will head back there again!!!
But after the dives, really don't have much things to do either than having dinner and zzz.
How I wish I can go out in the evening and head back to lembongan in the night!!!

Unfortunate to hear that you didn't find anything to do in the evening!
Lembongan is still quite sleepy but has LOTS of things to do outside of diving if you search around a bit - there are 2 monthly magazines "Nusa Paradise" and "Lembongan Community" which list various venues, activities, events etc taking place on the island. These magazines are found at all the speed boat companies and most restaurants & hotels.
Weekly events on Lembongan all year around include:
- Tuesday evening Marine Life lectures at 6:30 at The Yoga Shack
- Wednesday night pub quiz trivia nights at 8pm Blue Corner Bar
- Thursday night Manta Ray lectures at 6:30 at the Yoga Shack
- Friday night beach parties at Blue Corner Bar (these get super busy with all the divers & instructors, surfers, expats & tourists on the island - DJs and dancing until very late)
Additionally, there are weekly parties at one of the bars in the mangroves, and the new venue "The Palms" in Cenningan holds regular parties.
Hang around any one of the busy evening warungs (such as D&B Warung or Wahyu) and find out where everybody is heading for the evening, or just ask the staff at any of the diveshops -- we all get along well and hang out in the evenings!
