Cenote Tajma Ha - Yucatán Cenotes

Gili Gede Wall, a quick boat ride from Lombok Eco Dive Resort, offers a relaxed dive with plenty to keep recreational divers engaged. The wall drops to a sandy bottom around 25 metres, and it’s an easy drift along the reef face. We often spot lobsters tucked into crevices, and we’ve seen turtles cruising by on multiple occasions. Look out for cuttlefish and octopus camouflaged on the wall, plus moray eels peering from their holes. Visibility averages 10 metres, so it’s more about finding the smaller creatures than expansive vistas.
