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) - Ben Ben Garden offers some of Lombok & Gili Islands's richest drift diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest April, May, November.
Ben Ben Garden is a pretty spot, an easy boat ride from the Lombok coast. You start shallow, around 4-5 metres, and drift along a headland covered in various corals. Down at about 20 metres, we found some interesting coral blocks, often with schools of smaller fish darting around. It's a relaxed dive, good for spotting clownfish in their anemones, and if you’ve got a keen eye, the triplefins are always fun to watch. We’d say it’s a solid choice for a laid-back afternoon, not too challenging, and generally decent visibility.
