Lombok and Beyond Dive Sites
North Coast Gili ilsand Dive Sites
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.
