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) - Gili Gede Slope offers some of Lombok & Gili Islands's richest drift diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest April, May, November.
Just a quick seven-minute boat ride from Lombok Eco Dive Resort, Gili Gede Slope is a pretty mellow dive. The site is a gentle descent to about 19 meters, dotted with some impressive bommies and good patches of soft and table corals. You’ll often find turtles tucked in among the bommies, and we’ve spotted moray eels, clownfish, and the usual suspects like porcupinefish and puffers. Visibility averages around 11 meters, so it’s not always gin-clear, but it’s a calm spot, ideal for a relaxed afternoon dive, even if there’s a mild current pushing you along.
Safety Notes
Drift dive - carry a surface marker buoy (SMB) and stay with your group. Brief the current direction before entry.
