The Gili Islands, Indonesia, are known as an idyllic slice of paradise. Located off the North West Coast of Lombok in the heart of the Coral Triangle, are three peanut sized tropical islands boasting white sand beaches, palm trees, a relaxed vibe, and, because there is no motorised transport, the gentle clip-clopping of the islands’ horse and carts provide a peaceful mind for all who visit.
But what can the Gili Islands offer scuba divers? When approaching the islands by boat from Bali, you will see crystal clear aquamarine waters providing fabulous visibility averaging 20 to 25 metres all year round (sometimes more!). Not only are the waters clear, they are wonderfully warm (up to 31 degrees) and many divers enjoy the freedom of wearing shorts and a rash vest – no wetsuit required!
Divers don’t just want to hear about beautiful diving conditions, they want to see marine life.
And this is definitely where the Gili Islands deliver!
