Dive Site Around The Gilis
Indonesia's 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.
It doesn’t matter how much experience you have, we
will find the ideal dive site for you.
Around three Gili islands ( Gili Air, Gili
Meno, Gili Trawangan) there are more then 15 dive sites and there new
reefs are beeing explorered all the time.
Shark Point & Volkers' Golf Course
Shark Point, to the 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 of hard and soft corals, the "native
territory" of Green and Hawksbill Turtles.
The different levels are
sandy areas with small coral locks - the variety of underwater life is
large, starting with schools of Trevally Napoleon Fish to White-tip Reef
Sharks and Rays in the sandy areas, ending up with Ribbon Eels, Leaf
Fish and even Mantas.
Volkers' Golf Course is about 500 m east of
Shark Point and starts at a depth of about 20m. It looks green like a
golf course and is the best site to see Sharks, Schools of Mackerel and
Doctor Fish. Because of its depth and the sometimes very strong
currents, it is a dive for advanced divers.
Meno Wall
Meno wall, off the west coast of Gili Meno, goes down to depths of 18m.
It offers a lot of small coral fish like Lionfish, Soldier Fish, Gobies,
crabs, as well as Wart Slugs and Nudi branches
coming out of hiding. It is also called "Turtle Heaven" because of the
many resident Hawksbill and Green Turtles.
Air Wall
Air Wall, to 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 Fish (Scorpion Fish) make their "home", surrounded by shrimps, Pipe
Fish, White-banded Cleaner Shrimps and thousands of Glass Fish. Look
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 Fun Garden and Basket Coral Garden. In the first
few meters you have the feeling of being in an aquarium - schools of
colored Fairy Basslets, Fusiliers, Banner Fish live here. 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.
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 the Mantas, you still have a good chance to see Reef Sharks
and Turtles.
