Biorocks

Forget the name for a minute; "Biorocks" is all about the project, not the rays. We know, a "muck dive" can sound a bit unappealing, but trust us, this is one of our favourites for a reason. Off the east end of Gili Trawangan, the gentle slope here is a success story for restoration, and it’s a site we always try to hit. Eight artificial reefs have created a fantastic habitat at a maximum depth of 19m. Drop in and you'll immediately notice the difference these structures make. We love cruising low over the sand, checking the nooks and crannies for seahorses – they’re often there if you look carefully. The pipefish here are prolific, and we’ve even spotted mandarin fish at dusk, though that takes a bit of patience and timing. Keep an eye out for the fluted and boring clams nestled amongst the growing corals. Visibility averages around 19m, decent enough for spotting the smaller stuff that makes this dive special. This site is perfect for photographers who appreciate the macro world and for divers who enjoy a slower pace, really taking time to observe.
