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) - Pura Mas Gading offers some of Lombok & Gili Islands's richest wall diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest April, May, November.
Pura Mas Gading, tucked between Buyuk and Sental, offers a pleasant drift over a sloping reef. We've often found it a relaxing dive, the current usually gentle enough to simply glide along. Keep an eye out for the small temple in the shallows marking the site, then enjoy the abundance of soft corals and schooling fish. While you'll see plenty of angelfish and triggers, we've had a few lucky dives here spotting marble rays cruising by, and if you’re really in luck, thresher sharks occasionally make an appearance in the blue. For those visiting at the right time of year, it's also a known spot for sunfish cleaning stations.
