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) - Boga Wreck offers some of Lombok & Gili Islands's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest April, May, November.
The Boga Wreck sits off Kubu village, a deliberate sinking back in 2012. It’s a purposeful artificial reef, not some tragic accident, and that means it's settled in nicely. We love how the whole bow section feels like a real ship, while the cargo hold is open and easy to explore, just begging for a peek inside. Coral has taken hold in a big way, especially the staghorn, which softens the edges of the metal. You'll often find a shy moray eel peeking from a pipe or a gang of glassy cardinalfish shimmering around the deeper sections. Our favourite spot is probably the stern, where the propeller still sits, often home to a frogfish if you have a keen eye. Visibility can be a bit variable, sometimes 10 metres, sometimes closer to 20, but the wreck is compact enough that you won't lose it. It's a forgiving dive, topping out at 30 metres, so it’s great for anyone comfortable with a little depth who wants to poke around a proper ship structure without a strong current hassle.
