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) - Shark Point, Gili Trawangan offers some of Lombok & Gili Islands's richest diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest April, May, November.
Shark Point, off Gili Trawangan, often gets a bad rap for its name. We've certainly never seen a "point" made of sharks, though we do spot plenty of reef sharks here, usually whitetips cruising the sandy bottom. It's a gentle slope down to 22 metres, dotted with bommies and small coral patches. You'll often find a decent number of turtles grazing, and big schools of fusiliers can really light up the place when they're feeding. Current can pick up a bit, but for beginners looking for some easy action and a chance to see some bigger stuff, it's a solid choice.
