    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Bangko Bangko, off Lombok, is a drift dive best suited for experienced divers comfortable with moving water. The currents here can be lively, carrying you past coral slopes where we've often seen reef sharks patrolling. It's a site that rewards those who enjoy covering ground rather than lingering in one spot. Keep an eye out for schooling jacks and barracuda in the blue.
