DOSSIER: FANTASTICAL JEWELS AT THE HEART OF THE CORAL TRIANGLE AWAIT…

Lombok’s key northwest attraction are the fabled Gili Islands – three exquisite tropical islets of white sand beaches, coconut palms and coral reefs teeming with marine life. Delightfully free of cars and motorcycles, the only traffic on the Gilis are the tinkling cidomo (pony carts) and the odd bicycle. Each Gili has its own characteristics and charm for you to discover, each a nucleus that a kaleidoscopic array of fish in the Balinese, pellucid waters surround.

A speedboat away in Tulamben, divers can shore dive the world famous WWII UST Liberty Wreck and dive the pristine waters of Nusa Lembongan where the currents house cleaning stations for Mola Mola and Manta Rays. A short flight away, divers can then make an additional stop to dive the world famous marine park of Komodo.

Mission Statement

An expedition for divers to combine the wonderfully diverse and relaxed island cultures of Indonesia with world class diving interactions, hiking, WWII wrecks and marine conservation opportunities in biorock technology and reef restoration. Indonesia is a true jewel in the coral triangle.

The three small islands off Lombok’s west coast have fast become a aquatic gold mine for all levels of divers. The Indonesian waters have more varieties of fish than anywhere in the world – including The Great Barrier Reef and Red Sea. This diversity is due to variants in the seabed topography that combine gentle slopes with drop offs and plateaus that harbour all kinds of different species.

On the Gili Islands you can expect to encounter species such as Bumphead Parrotfish, Reef Sharks, Green Turtles and Ghost Pipefish as a selection of just a few of the many. There are many highly acclaimed dive sites and for aspiring marine biologists, over 100 Biorock reefs to monitor and maintain. A speedboat away in Tulamben, divers can shore dive the world famous WWII UST Liberty Wreck and dive the pristine waters of Nusa Lembongan where the currents house cleaning stations for Mola Mola and Manta Rays. A short flight away, divers can then make an additional stop to dive the world famous marine park of Komodo.

This intoxicating land offers some of the last great adventures on earth. Sitting in the open door of a train whizzing across Java, gazing out at an empty sea while on a ship bound for the Kei Islands, hanging on to the back of a scooter on Flores, rounding the corner of an ancient West Timor village or simply trekking through the lush wilderness.
