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) - Emerald offers some of Lombok & Gili Islands's richest diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest April, May, November.
Emerald is a mellow dive off Lombok's coast, perfect for newer divers looking for a relaxed experience. The reef here, sitting at a comfortable 23 meters, offers gentle slopes and sandy patches. You'll likely spot blue-spotted rays resting on the bottom and schools of bannerfish fluttering over the coral bommies. It's a good place to refine your buoyancy without strong currents to worry about.
