From our Senggigi dive shop we also do daily
trip to our dive sites around the southern Gilis. We leave the Senggigi area
around 7am and the 1.5-hour trip takes you on a scenic drive through Lombok. Then
you can dive into the diverse underwater world around the bay of Sekotong. The
southern Gilis offer relaxed diving and plentiful macro life, As the sea is
fairly shallow, visibility is never crystal clear but this doesn’t affect the
caliber of the dive sites. The reefs are full of bright soft corals and
colorful crinoids, which harbor an amazing variety of rare marine life,
including Ghost Pipe Fish, Leaf Fish, Pygmy seahorses and much more.
The dive sites reflect a good cross-section of
what Indonesia has to offer. One can be fascinated by turtles, white tip reef
sharks, cuttlefish, moray eels and many more. In Sekotong the dive sites offer
even the widely traveled and experienced diver a surprising and breathtaking
experience, as well as offer fun diving for families and beginner. A unique
underwater experience and a fascinating multitude of species present a
highlight for photographers and all scuba enthusiasts!
Dive sites, such as "The Lighthouse"
or "Stairs to Medan" offer pristine reefs, and are popular with
trevallies, barracudas and white tip reef sharks. On the other hand, dive sites
like Gili Renggit are made up of massive soft coral growth and are a paradise
for macro photographers. The great variety of dive sites will become obvious
when taking a dive at Batu Gendang or Batu Mandi where one can experience a
landscape of boulders covered with massive corals while being surrounded by
sweet lips, napoleon fish, rays and many more.
