  • Cuttlefish lay their eggs deep within coral colonies to ensure they are safe from predators. The Gili Islands, located just off Lombok's west coast, are a popular tourist destination.  the three islands - Meno, Air and Trawangan - offer many different options for accommodation, eating and nightlife.  The name 'Gili Islands' is something of a misnomer as 'Gili' means 'small island' in the local Sasak language.  The reefs around the islands have some reasonable hard corals and marine life, but have suffered in the past from damage, bleaching events and pollution.  However the islands are still worth visiting and are especially good for student divers.

  • Padangbai, on Bali's east coast, is one of the islands most convenient dive spots.  The strong currents that flow between Bali and Lombok produce strong upwellings of cold, nutrient rich water, perfect conditions for marine life and in particular, filter feeders such as sponges and crinoids.  The best dive sites are located around several rocky islands just offshore, but dive operators based in Padangbai also run trips across to Nusa Penida and Lembongan.
