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) - Black Pearl Bali offers some of Lombok & Gili Islands's richest wall diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest April, May, November.
The Black Pearl Bali site, found off the Gili Islands, is an excellent choice if you’re into the smaller stuff. It starts with some decent coral and sponge growth in the shallows, around 7 to 10 metres, before transitioning into a sandy slope. Don't let the sand fool you, though. This is where the real hunt begins. We've spent good dives here poking around every little bump and crevice. Look closely at those ginkgo-like leaf growths and isolated cylinder roses; they're often hiding something cool. We’ve spotted "Shaun the Sheep" nudibranchs, harlequin crabs, and once even a frogfish camouflaged perfectly. Maximum depth is 22 metres, and visibility averages 19 metres, making it a comfortable, focused macro dive for anyone patient enough to search.
