Bounty Wreck

Off the south-west of Gili Meno lies the 'Bounty', not a ship but a large pier/pontoon that sank in the early 2000s. Its top is at about 9 m and the bottom at 18 m. Hard and soft corals now cover the structure; a big coral head nearby holds thousands of glassfish, and scorpionfish, stonefish, frogfish, peacock mantis shrimp and moray eels are typical finds.
