Tanjung Jipun - Lombok & Gili Islands
Tanjung Jipun offers a straightforward dive, generally calm and suitable for newer divers finding their fins. We’ve found decent hard coral formations here, though nothing spectacular. Keep an eye out for smaller reef fish darting between the bommies. It's a relaxed option if you're looking for a low-key afternoon dive.
