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) - Solwie offers some of Lombok & Gili Islands's richest reef diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest April, May, November.
Solwie, just off Gili Ringgit, offers a gentle slope covered in those striking bright pink soft corals. They really do look like miniature trees waving in the current. We tend to stick to the shallows here, where massive coral formations hide a good mix of small reef fish. It's a comfortable dive, perfect for newer divers or anyone looking for a relaxed exploration, with an average visibility of 17 metres.
