Dive-site story
Located off the northwest coast of Gili Trawangan, Shark Point features a series of underwater ridges and sandy plateaus that step downward into deeper water. Reef sharks frequently rest on the sandy channels between coral ridges, while green turtles graze in the shallower coral gardens. The site is generally dived as a drift along the sloping coral formations.
Stepped ridge topography dropping into sand canyons
Regular sightings of resting whitetip and blacktip reef sharks
Large resident green and hawksbill sea turtles feeding along shallow plateaus
Schools of bumphead parrotfish passing during morning drifts
