SOUTHEAST LOMBOK
DIVE SITES
Tanjung Ringgit Dive Sites
The southeast coast of Lombok—already a favourite among surfers—is now an emerging paradise for divers seeking adventure and untouched reefs. From our dive centre in central Kuta, it’s a scenic 50-minute drive to Telong Elong, followed by a quick 25-minute boat ride to the sites. This region is home to newly discovered dive spots filled with pelagic action, vibrant coral, and big, open-ocean energy.
From dramatic walls, swim-throughs, caves, and incredible muck sites for macro enthusiasts, the area offers a range of sites for both beginners and seasoned divers alike!
Marie's Garden
Descend into a forest of towering black coral trees and sweeping sea fans, home to schools of swirling fish, pygmy seahorses and a rainbow of hard and soft corals. Drift slowly and you’ll spot tiny macro gems hiding between the branches—ghost pipefish, shrimps, nudis, and other shy little critters. A gorgeous dive that is perfect for every type of diver.
Coral Garden
A stunning soft-coral garden starting at 3-5 metres and dropping into the deep blue, where skipjacks, mackerel, and the occasional school of devil rays cruise by. Usually sheltered and sometimes the start of an epic drift. Expect world-class reefs, vibrant walls, and sightings ranging from frogfish and turtles to eagle rays.
Halfway House
Timo's Reef southern slope drops into a dramatic 65-metre wall covered in fans, whips, and sponges. A torch helps reveal white-tips, octopus, and nudis whereas out in the blue, dogtooth tuna, skipjacks, and batfish cruise past. Generally for advanced divers, though keen newbies may join in calm conditions at the guide’s discretion.
Gamechanger
This is an experienced diver’s playground: steep walls, a moody swim-through, beautiful overhangs and depths dropping past 120 metres. Dolphins, schooling tunas and trevallies, devil rays, even a grouper the size of a small child—anything can cruise by. The walls are packed with macro life too, if you can take your eyes off the blue. Next stop… Australia.
Macro Bay
Ours is the glow-up version—packed with life, and hands-down one of the best fish ID dives you’ll ever do. With permanent moorings protecting the bay and a private beach tucked behind it, expect seahorses, pipefish, juvenile catfish, razorfish, nudis, shrimps, and even a friendly turtle cruising between schools of fish and healthy corals.
Dave's Place
Just around the corner from Pink Beach and connects to Macro Bay. Rumors of an underwater cave drew us in! At high tide, there is a small shallow cave that makes a fun mission for experienced cave divers (sea snakes included, so bring your courage). The site is also a fantastic snorkel spot, with pristine hard corals that are colourful and full of life.
Nusa Tiga
Nusa Tiga is a trio of tiny islands linked by a calm shallow sandbank and a favourite among our dive guides. The east side features a 400-metre coral plateau that slopes to 22 metres, hiding cuttlefish, blue-ring octopus, seahorses, pipefish, eels, rhinopias, frogfish, nudis, and more. The west side is covered in hard tube corals, plenty of fish, and soft coral gardens.
Cumi Cumi
Ever heard of a muck dive? Well, our muck is stunning. Tanjung Cumi (“choomy”) sits just off Lombok, drops to around 8 metres into a sandy bottom. This spot is loaded with macro critters—seahorses, cuttlefish, shrimps, mimic octopus, crabs, nudis, frogfish, and all kinds of spiny fish. It’s shallow, easy, and ideal for long, rewarding macro hunts. With our spotter guides, you’re almost guaranteed to find something wild.
Jimmy's Walls
Just outside Jeeva Beloam, Bommy Land offers an 8-meter plateau packed with bommies, soft corals, and vibrant reef life. Head south to Jimmy’s Walls—two coral-covered drop-offs loaded with nudis and macro critters. Continue reef right along a gentle slope hiding coral catsharks, ending at Bikini Bottom, a sandy bommy-dotted stretch patrolled by trevallies and mackerel.
Pokki Wall
Tanjung Pokki sits beneath Lombok’s dramatic south-coast cliffs, offering a sheltered dive site with serious wow factor the moment you surface. Below, the collapsed cliff face forms rocky ledges and dark hideaways perfect for spotting critters. The shallow bay averages 20 metres, with soft corals and plenty to explore—an ideal choice for a relaxed second dive on your day trip.
Eagle Rock
Batu Pilar, named after the fish eagles above it, delivers stunning topography with rocky reefs, an arch swim-through, and a vibrant coral wall. A wide 14-metre plateau hosts soft corals, seaweed “balls,” and seasonal manta cleanings. Follow it south to a 35-metre drop-off packed with critters and nudis—plus the chance for harlequin shrimp and passing pelagics.
Sumbawa Dive Sites
Dive Sumbawa at its best from November to April, when the seas are calm and perfect for adventure. Enjoy a scenic 50-minute drive to Telong Elong before hopping on a fast 45-minute speedboat across the Alas Strait. On the other side awaits true Komodo-style diving—currents, big fish action, vibrant reefs, and that raw energy Sumbawa is famous for. Perfect for experienced divers who are thrill-seekers.
Please note: Trips are confirmed a few days in advance based on the latest weather forecasts to keep conditions safe and fun. Please enquire for more information.
Marsha Wall
A negative entry into split currents—you’ll drop onto the wall and hold position behind big boulders to watch the action unfold. Expect massive schools of amberjack, GTs, skipjack tuna, and barracuda, with dogtooth tuna, Spanish mackerel, and reef sharks cruising through. It’s easily one of the most thrilling 20 minutes of big-fish diving you’ll ever experience!
Marsha Reef
Marsha Reef extends from Marsha Wall, offering a calm, coral-filled plateau on a rising tide and steeper walls closer to the current line. This is where we’ve even spotted our namesake—the Blue Marlin. Set in the middle of the Alas Strait, the island gives you clear views of Sumbawa and, on a good day, Mt. Rinjani towering in the distance. Sea eagles often cruise overhead, adding to the wild, untouched feel of the site.
Mantahari
Discover our seasonal manta cleaning station, where multiple mantas are often seen cruising overhead during peak season. The bommies are alive with butterflyfish, soft corals, resident white-tips, stingrays, and clouds of anthias keep the show going. Between the twin islands lies an 8-metre drift channel—perfect for experienced thrill-seekers.
Topolicious
A stunning topography dive on Mantahari’s exposed corner, where steep walls drop straight into the Alas Strait. Years of swell and current have carved dramatic contours, overhangs, and a deep pinnacle starting at 37 metres. The protected shallows form a small bay on a falling tide, covered in pristine sponges, soft corals, scattered boulders, and swim-through arches. A memorable dive with curves, edges, and attitude.
Les Arches
Our new favourite site. At the corner of the bay sits a massive swim-through linking the bay to the open ocean, big enough for a whole team of divers to explore its arches and hidden pockets. Early entrants might even catch schooling giant trevallies. The ceiling sits at 4 metres with a tight opening for those with sharp buoyancy, while the bottom rests at an easy 14 metres. And for those skipping the overheads, the surrounding reefs burst with life and colour.
