Discover Diving in Gili and Liveaboards

The Gili Islands are famous for their sea turtles, which can be seen on almost every dive. Green and hawksbill turtles are the most common, often seen gracefully swimming through the water or resting on the coral reefs. In addition to turtles, you’ll encounter a vibrant array of fish, including reef sharks, rays, and the occasional mola mola (sunfish).

The coral reefs are equally impressive, with healthy hard and soft corals providing shelter for countless species. Schools of colorful fish, like the vivid parrotfish and playful clownfish, are a common sight, adding to the underwater spectacle.

Some of the most popular dive sites in the Gili Islands include Shark Point, Manta Point, and Turtle Heaven. Each site offers something unique, from thrilling drift dives to relaxed turtle spotting.

Shark Point is known for its variety of shark species, including white-tip and black-tip reef sharks. Manta Point, as the name suggests, is the place to go if you’re hoping to see manta rays gliding through the water. Turtle Heaven, true to its name, is the perfect spot for turtle lovers, where you can observe these gentle creatures in their natural habitat.

For macro enthusiasts, sites like Sunset Reef and Halik Reef offer the chance to see smaller marine life, such as nudibranchs, seahorses, and frogfish. These sites are perfect for divers who enjoy searching for the hidden gems of the ocean.

Imagine spending your days diving in crystal-clear waters and your evenings relaxing on the deck of your liveaboard, watching the sunset over the horizon.
