The head looks like some sort of snake eel. The body is odd as the way the photo was shot, from an odd perspective, makes it look like the snout is really pointy, yet the body is really broad and flat.

Not dived there ..... yet! but I've seen pictures of things called Flatheads or Crocodile Fish which look similar in shape to this. A possibility?
Take only pictures, leave only bubbles!

The pattern does not look like most crocodile fish I have seen, but then again, the Lembeh Straits has a weird species convergence. The shape does resemble a crocodile fish head now that I think of it.

Publisher, you're half-right - that's a Stargazer snake eel - Brachysomophis cirrocheilos - Himmelgucker- Schlangenaal.
