Magic Reef

Magic Reef sits right where the current pushes in along the north side of Gili Meno. We love this site for a relaxed drift, especially on a gentle incoming tide. You just drop in, kick back, and let the ocean do the work. The reef here is a low-lying garden of branching corals, mostly staghorn, with sandy patches between them. Keep an eye out for blue-spotted stingrays tucked into the sand and pink anemonefish darting through their homes. It’s a fantastic spot for spotting juvenile fish, a real nursery. We often see young reef sharks patrolling the edges of the coral, and eagle rays glide past with surprising regularity. The maximum depth of 18 meters makes it perfect for newer divers or those who just want a longer, less strenuous bottom time. Visibility generally hovers around 20 meters, offering clear views of the slow-motion parade. Our pick for a tranquil afternoon dive after a busy morning.
