Lombok and Gili Island Dive Sites Lombok is Just 35 Kilo meters of Bali but remains relatively unknown to many travellers. This is good for the intervid divers that return to Lombok's shores every year. There is an excelent choice of dive sites for people of all abilities. The Gili Island are the most popular destinations for diving enthusiasts and offer some exhilarating drift dives for the more experienced. Gili Island dive sites 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. 
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.
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.
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 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. Senggigi and beyond dive sites Senggigi Dive is a spectacular slope reaching down to 60m.
Between 10m and 25m, there is an array of wonderful coral.
A lot of different reef fishes and with a bit of luck you
can see turtles and white tip reef sharks. Hidden between
the coral many different kinds of shrimp and crab can be
found.
Nipah

Malimbu
Cave
A

rocks covered in corals. Here you can find a lot of sting
rays, a big amount of reef fishes and often turtles. In the
shallower part are caves that can only be dived when
conditions are calm. But be careful, we’ve heard a dragon
lives there…
Malimbu Slope
A long, stretched slope that goes down to 30m. The bottom
is sandy with a lot of little coral reefs. Sharks, blue
spotted rays, eagle rays, barracudas, leaf fish – there’s
just so much to see.

A big plateau that starts at 10m and goes down to 30m or
40m. Most of the time, you can see sharks, turtles and a big
variety of reef fish. On the north side, big gorgonians and
sponges can be found.
Alang-Alang Wall
A wall
that begins at 16m and reaches down to 35m. Down there,
after a small plateau begins another wall that goes down to
60m. Both of them are over grown with wonderful corals. You
have sharks, turtles and a huge variety of reef fish. It’s a
perfect spot for night dives.
