Lombok

Lombok, the stunning island east of Bali, offers a diverse and often underrated diving experience. With over 17 distinct dive sites, it presents a quieter alternative to its bustling neighbor. Divers can explore the vibrant coral reefs surrounding the famous Gili Islands, discover unique macro life in sheltered bays, and even encounter larger pelagics in more challenging southern sites. This variety, from sloping reefs and walls to muck diving hotspots, makes Lombok a versatile destination catering to a wide range of underwater interests and skill levels.

Diving conditions in Lombok are generally favorable year-round, with warm waters and good visibility. While some sites can experience strong currents, particularly around the full and new moons, there are plenty of protected areas suitable for beginners. The main draw for divers is the combination of rich marine biodiversity, uncrowded dive sites, and the authentic Indonesian island charm. Whether you're seeking encounters with turtles and reef sharks or hunting for pygmy seahorses, Lombok provides a memorable and rewarding underwater adventure.
