A lot of lion fish while diving South Lombok

For the moment we are seeing a lot of lion fish while diving South Lombok, and this week we had a whole lot of dive trips around the southern Gilis and it appears the lionfish are out there in force. Around our southern Gili dive sites we have now found adults, juveniles as well as plenty of different varieties. Apart from this it has been a fast paced week in South Lombok with plenty of diving around the southern Gilis as well as a snorkeling trip with a class from Beijing.

I want to say a huge congrats to Stephen who this week finished his PADI Open Water Course as well as passed his scuba certification with flying colours. Stephen left us extremely happy and also sharing with us just how he can’t wait to return to scuba dive South Lombok again and maybe to dive Belongas to discover the hammer heads. Also while diving the southern Gilis this week enjoyed showing our South Lombok dive sites to our visitors from Malaysia and also Wong from Singapore joined us for a bit of scuba diving around the southern Gilis. In spite of the rain we experienced some very cool South Lombok diving and remained in high spirits. You know the saying, “if you’re going to get wet, you may as well go diving”. Well, we did and every one came back from diving the southern Gilis with plenty of stories of lion fish, nudibranches, shrimps, Crabs, Cuttle fish, Octapus, turtles, ornate ghost pipe fish, frog fish as well as a few sturdy currents around the dive sites which ended up in blockbuster drift dives.

Around our South Lombok dive sites it was a little rainy this week, however this didn’t stop us from getting in some excellent South Lombok diving, in fact the visibility i was still around 20 meters and we really seen a lot. The water temp is 28 degrees C and also we've had a couple of wavy days however nothing at all disturbing our scuba diving around the southern Gilis
