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) - Tanjung Bautputih offers some of Lombok & Gili Islands's richest diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest April, May, November.
Tanjung Bautputih often makes an appearance on liveaboard itineraries heading to or from Komodo, a convenient stop-off on Sumbawa's north coast, just east of Bima. We’ve found the real draw here is the reef itself. It starts shallow, a fringing reef sloping down to around 20 metres, then drops into a proper wall that keeps going to 40 metres. What you'll see are some really stunning angelfish, particularly the blue and gold bi-colour angelfish and the Lamarck's angelfish, both of which are common in this part of Indonesia. The bi-colour is especially vibrant. This spot is a solid bet for divers who appreciate a good wall dive and have an eye for colourful reef fish.
