The Gili Islands
Dive Sites
Did you know that 25 percent of all reefs are in
Indonesia?
With over 3,500 species living in the Indonesian underwater
world, we have one of the richest diversities of
marine life in the Indo-Pacific region. In
comparison, the
Great Barrier Reef has just 1,500 species and the
Red Sea has only 600 species. 
Our drop-offs, plateaus and slopes reflect a good
cross-section of what
Indonesia has to offer. Dive in and be fascinated by
turtles, white tip reef sharks, cuttlefish, moray
eels, angelfishes, ghost pipefish and more. A few
impressions can be found in our photo gallery.
It doesn’t matter how much experience you have, we
will find the ideal dive site for you.
Dive Sites Around the Gilis
Around the three Gili Islands in the North-West of Lombok (Gili
Air, Gili Meno, Gili Trawangan) are more than 15 different
dive spots and there are new reefs being explored all the
time. Some of our spots are more suitable for advanced
divers, but many are also suitable for beginners. Our
experienced dive masters will always find the right spot for
you.
Meno
Wall
Meno Wall in the West of Gili Meno goes down to 18m.
You can see a lot of small coral fish like lionfish, soldier
fish, gobies, crabs and a lot of wart slugs and nudi
branches coming out of hiding. It is also called
“Turtle Heaven” because of the many resident hawksbill and
green turtles.
Shark Point & Volker’s Golf course
Shark Point east of Gili Trawangan is a popular dive spot
in the mornings. This dive site consists of different levels
(24m, 20m, 18m); it starts with a slope out of hard and soft
corals, the "native country" of green and hawksbill turtles.
The different levels are sandy areas with small coral blocks
– a wide variety of marine life starting with schools of
trivially, napoleon fish over white tip reef sharks and rays
in the sandy areas…. ending up with ribbon eels, leaf fishes
and even mantas. “Volker’s' Golf course” is about 500m
east of Shark point and starts at a depth of about 30m. It
looks like the greens of a golf course and is the best site
to see sharks, schools of mackerels and doctor fishes.
Because of its depth and the sometimes very strong currents,
it is a dive for advanced divers.
Air Wall
Air Wall in the West of Gili Air is a very beautiful wall
that, due to the soft coral cover, shines yellow-orange
depending on the position of the sun. The highlight of this
wall is a coral block at 22m in which leaf fishes (scorpion
fish) found their "home", surrounded by shrimps, pipefish,
white-banded cleaner shrimps and thousands of glass
fishes... Look out into the deeper parts for white tip reef
sharks.
Coral
Fan
Garden & Basket
Coral
Garden
Also popular for morning dives are the two dive spots in
the North of Gili Trawangan,
Coral Fan
Garden and Basket Coral Garden. The first few meters you
will have the feeling of being in an aquarium - schools of
colored fairy bass lets, fusiliers, banner fishes… and
deeper, around the big coral and stone blocks, groupers,
batfish, trumpet fish, hiding octopus and bearded scorpion
fish. Look out to the blue: sometimes eagle rays, mantas or
reef sharks can be seen.
Frog
Fish Point
One of our favorite dive spots is Frog Fish Point in the
East of Gili Air, famous for small things and rarities.
A huge coral block from 5m-18m welcomes you. There are
a lot of sandy areas, where the garden eels let off steam
and coral is overgrown with anemones and their clownfish.
You can find ghost pipefish, frogfish and a lot of scorpion
fish. Have a manicure there by one of the many cleaner
shrimps.
Manta Point
Manta Point in the rainy season, when the water is rich
with plankton, this dive site in the South of Gili Trawangan
gives you the best chance to see Manta rays. But even
without mantas, you still have a good chance to see reef
sharks and turtles. Malang Reef Underwater canyons create
the landscape here with a plateau starting at 10m and
dropping down to 40m. Here you can see “everything”. Mantas,
blue spotted stingrays, scorpion fish, lionfish, and white
tips have been encountered here as well as spiny lobsters.
