Segara

Forget your big pelagic dreams here. Segara, near Gili Air, is a site we return to specifically for the tiny, the camouflaged, and the wonderfully weird. It’s a gentle slope, mostly mud and sand, with some artificial structures put down in 2008 that are now delightfully encrusted. We love it for the sheer variety of nudibranchs – you’ll spot everything from vibrant Eye-spotted eubranchus to the more subtle Brown-blotched okenia if you take your time. The maximum depth is 25m, but the real action often happens shallower, around 9-15m, where the structures create little hideouts. We’ve spent entire dives there just hovering, patiently searching for Freckled Anglerfish or the tiny Stobbs' Pygmygoby. Visibility averages 14m, which is perfectly fine for macro. This is a site for the diver who delights in finding a Slender Snake Eel poking from the sand or watching a Boxer Crab wave its anemone 'pom-poms'. Bring your best macro lens and a lot of patience; the rewards are truly unique.
