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) - Bat Rock offers some of Lombok & Gili Islands's richest reef diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest April, May, November.
Bat Rock, just southeast of Manta Point, can be a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve had days here with a fair bit of surge and current, making it a dive for those comfortable with a bit of a ride. Other times, it’s calm enough to circumnavigate the whole rock. The main draw is a steep wall, dropping to about 23 metres, where we often spot olive sea snakes slithering between the corals. Look closely and you’ll find plenty of macro life, alongside schools of trevally and, if you’re lucky, a whitetip reef shark or two patrolling the deeper sections. It’s a good spot for divers who appreciate both the small stuff and the chance of larger pelagics, provided the conditions are playing ball.
