Srikandi Speedboat (Wreck) - Lombok & Gili Islands

Twin Peaks at Saxon Reef. Our kind of site for a leisurely afternoon dive, especially if the sun’s out. It’s exactly what it sounds like: two decent coral bommies rising from a sandy bottom, joined by a lower ridge. Think of it as a shallow amphitheater, maxing out at 13 meters. We love taking our time here, circling the peaks, looking into every nook. The coral coverage is good, especially the hard stuff – plenty of staghorn, cauliflower, and brain corals forming nice ledges and overhangs. You’ll definitely spot clownfish darting in their anemones. Visibility here averages around 15 meters, sometimes a touch more. We've often seen green sea turtles cruising by, a relaxed glide that just puts a smile on your face. Keep an eye out for the brassy drummers, they gather in impressive schools, and we've even had barracuda drift past us, just checking us out. It's a mellow spot, perfect for divers who appreciate a relaxed pace and enjoy exploring every crevice without feeling rushed or needing to go deep. Great for photographers too, that shallow depth means good light for most of the dive.
