Dive-site story
Located north of the Gili Islands, Simon's Reef is an offshore seamount complex featuring large coral mounds, ridges, and sandy channels. Divers drift between the distinct pinnacles to explore deep-water sea fans, sponge gardens, and schooling pelagics that gather where currents hit the formations.
Topography dominated by submerged coral mounds and sandy gullies
Expansive gorgonian sea fans sheltering pygmy seahorses and longnose hawkfish
Frequent encounters with resting reef sharks and cruising trevallies
