Lombok & Gili Islands

Lombok sits east of Bali across the deep Lombok Strait. Most diving happens around the three small Gili Islands off its north-west coast – Trawangan, Meno and Air – inside the Gili Matra marine park: easy, warm drift dives with turtles on almost every dive, reef sharks, Biorock restoration reefs, a sunken pier and good macro. The south-west is quieter: the 'Southern Gilis' off the Sekotong peninsula (Gili Asahan, Gede, Rengit, Poh) offer calm coral and critter diving, while Belongas Bay on the exposed south coast has the Magnet and the Cathedral, offshore pinnacles with strong currents, surge and seasonal schooling hammerheads.
