Next to the green beacon marking the channel used by the Lombok ferries, about 100 m off the beach. The reef descends in horizontal steps with overhangs and shallow crevices, past 30 m. Small whitetip reef sharks are often found napping in the caves. Engine noise and reduced visibility are part of the deal.
