Why dive here
With 246+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue-spotted stingrays, bull sharks, grey reef sharks, manta rays and mobula rays (devil rays) - Bale Sampan Biorock offers some of Lombok & Gili Islands's richest reef diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest April, May, November.
If you’re keen on seeing reef restoration in action, Bale Sampan Biorock is a good spot to check out. The Biorock structures themselves are interesting, giving the reef a bit of an architectural feel as new corals establish themselves. We’ve seen small giant clams tucked into crevices and occasionally a blue-spotted stingray cruising by. It’s a calmer dive, usually without strong currents, making it a nice choice for a relaxed afternoon. You’ll definitely notice the progress these Biorock projects are making.
