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) - Gumi Cenik 1, Bali offers some of Lombok & Gili Islands's richest drift diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest April, May, November.
Gumi Cenik 1 isn't your flashy drift dive, but it's a solid pick for those who enjoy slowing down. Drop in and you'll find a gentle sandy slope, interspersed with patches of coral and sponge growth, particularly shallower. We usually find ourselves poking around the small irregularities on the bottom – that’s where the real action is. Look closely and you’re likely to spot a Banded Blenny peering out, or maybe a Northern Bicoloured Triplefin darting around. It’s a site where patience pays off; the nudibranchs are often out, and we’ve even come across small frogfish here. Maxing out at 18 meters, it’s a calm macro hunt, perfect for photographers or anyone keen to really observe the smaller stuff.
Safety Notes
Drift dive - carry a surface marker buoy (SMB) and stay with your group. Brief the current direction before entry.
