Gili Mimpang
Four small rocks between Gili Tepekong and the Bali mainland. The site is relatively shallow (to about 18 m) and covered with sea fans; clouds of angelfish and chromis, Napoleon wrasse, black rays, leopard sharks and whitetip reef sharks are commonly reported, and it is one of the classic Mola Mola spots in season. Unpredictable currents make it a site for proficient divers.
