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 Ped offers some of Lombok & Gili Islands's richest diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest April, May, November.
Pura Ped is a good choice for an easy dive in the Gili Islands. It’s a shallow drift over sandy slopes, typically around 21 metres deep, making it a comfortable spot for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed afternoon. We often see green sea turtles here, just cruising along, and the occasional whitetip reef shark resting on the bottom. Keep an eye out for colourful nudibranchs and small reef fish darting around the coral patches. It’s not the most dramatic reef, but it's consistently pleasant and usually has good visibility.
