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) - Sental offers some of Lombok & Gili Islands's richest diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest April, May, November.
Sental, found off Lombok, offers a gentle sloping reef dive. You'll likely drift over barrel sponges and some branching corals, keeping an eye out for whitetip reef sharks resting on the sand. It’s a pretty relaxed dive, good for newer divers or those looking for a chilled-out second dive. Visibility hovers around 15-20 meters most days.
