Exiting diving in South-East Lombok!

...come see the hammerheads!

 

This location is famous for it’s dive sites “The Magnet“ and “The Cathedral“, and offers quite a few more world-class dive sites to be explored! Here you’ll find pristine reefs and an abundance of marine life. There is plentiful macro life, and an abundance of fish, as to be found nowhere else around Lombok. Mackerel, Tuna, Barracuda, Napoleon, White- and Black tip reef sharks, Sea snakes, Eagle rays and not to forget the possibility of schools of hammerhead sharks at “The Magnet!

The Magnet (Batu Kapal)
A pinnacle in the open sea, rising up to the surface from a depth of around 80m. Big, big fish action. Everywhere schools of mackerel, rainbow runner, tuna and barracuda. Here you can see white tips, black tips, grey reef sharks and with a little luck schooling hammerhead sharks. Experienced divers only !

The Cathedral (Gili Anak Elok)
Another pinnacle going down to around 50m. Here many sharks, tunas, mackerels and barracudas can be found. We also watched a school of eagle rays here. At around 40m there is a big cave. Experienced divers only !

Gili Sarang
Many pinnacles and impressive boulders rise up from a depth of around 40m and offer colorful soft corals. Here too, big fish action. Giant trevalies, mackerels, sweet lips, surgeon fish, white tips, black tips, and, grey reef sharks. Schooling mantas, eagle and devil rays. BIG FUN!!!

Soft Coral Garden
A chain of small pinnacles beginning in a depth of around 25m. All pinnacles are covered completely with soft corals. It is normally more a spot for small fishes and corals, but even here we have encountered manta rays.

Boulder City
Starting at a vertical wall you descend to about 30 meters. There are a lot of big rocks forming hundreds of swim-troughs. Sharks, napoleons and many, many sweet lips and angelfishes have been seen here.

Since some of our dive sites are in the open sea, we cannot guarantee that diving these sites is possible at all times!
