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) - Candi Dasa (Amuk Bay) offers some of Lombok & Gili Islands's richest reef diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest April, May, November.
Amuk Bay, just southeast of Candi Dasa, holds Gili Tepekong. It's a small rocky islet, only 100 metres wide, but the diving here is a different beast. Expect steep coral walls and water that often feels brisk. The currents can pick up, sometimes a brisk 5 knots through the canyon, so it’s definitely one for the experienced divers. Drifting through that canyon at depths around 24 metres, with the water pushing you along, can be quite the ride. You’ll be looking for pelagics out in the blue as you go.
