Dive Sites
Every description on this page comes from the crew, not a brochure. These are the sites we dive daily, and what actually lives on them.
The dive map
Pan, zoom and tap the flags: every site around Trawangan, Meno and Gili Air, with depths, conditions and who you’ll meet down there.
Pick your depth
Our owner Ang has dived these sites since before some of them had names, and our house reef is Turtle Point itself. The crew picks each day’s sites by current, conditions and what has been spotted where, so no two mornings are the same. Sites are 5 to 15 minutes away by boat.
Our house reef, right off the beach in front of the dive centre. Gentle, shallow and packed with green and hawksbill turtles: the perfect first dive.
A gently sloping reef with soft corals and a shark cave at 18m where juvenile white-tips rest. The site that keeps surprising you.
Next door to the Shipwreck and the Ridges: the crew picks the drop by the current, so the dive is always right.
Dive site guide
One of the most beautiful reefs in the Gilis, in two acts: a shallow garden at 5-15m and the deep ridges at 25-30m.
A massive main pinnacle rising from beyond 40m to 14m, ringed by smaller towers. One of the most famous dives in the islands.
Advanced only. This is one of the deep dives worth doing the Advanced course for.
Dive site guide
A scenic route from pinnacle to pinnacle over a supremely healthy reef, with massive gorgonian fans between the towers.
Advanced only.
Dive site guide
The site that has something at every depth: mushroom corals in the shallows, then a swim to a big pinnacle running from 12m past 30m.
One of the best turtle sites in the Gilis: a steep coral slope running parallel to the shore, built around a large central mound that climbs from 30m to within 10m of the surface. Green turtles rest on top while cleaner wrasses and surgeonfish work them over.
A 15-minute boat ride from the dive centre, and a dive for every level from beginner to advanced.
Dive site guide
A wide, gentle slope south of Gili Trawangan, mixing hard and soft corals. Mild current, light surge: diving at its most relaxed.
Not a ship: a hotel jetty sunk off Gili Meno in 2001, now a rectangle of life. Half the dive on the reef, half on the wreck.
Between Gili Meno and Gili Air: flat on top, then the reef steps down layer by layer from 14m until the bottom disappears into the blue.
A sandy bottom dotted with pinnacles and bio rocks that pull in the fish. The macro treasure hunt of the Gilis, day or night.
An artificial wreck sitting at 28m with its top at 21m, already claimed by sharks, rays and morays. Deep, atmospheric, unforgettable.
If the current is too strong to drop on the wreck, the crew drops on the neighbouring Ridges instead: still a great dive.
Dive site guide
Steel frames carrying a low-voltage current, where coral grows several times faster than on bare rock. Gili Air's structures sit in 1-3m of water, shallow enough to snorkel: the island's reef-regeneration story, up close.
A sheltered patch reef in Gili Air’s lee: coral outcrops along a sandy slope, calm even when the rest of the islands feel current. The go-to spot for courses and first dives.
A shallow, sheltered muck site by the harbour, brilliant for macro and night dives. Seahorses, frogfish and mandarinfish come out as the light fades.
Three pinnacles on Gili Air’s northern tip, named for the resident schools of pinnate and longfin batfish that hover over them. A favourite of underwater photographers.
Takat means coral head, and this site has about ten of them — sculpted with overhangs, outcrops and swim-throughs over a sloping sandy bed, with a 12–15 m plateau for the safety stop.
The deep ones tempting you? Simon’s Reef, Deep Turbo and the Shipwreck all sit below the 18-metre Open Water limit. The Advanced Adventurer course opens the trapdoor.
