Dive-site story
Shark Point sits off the northwest coast of Gili Trawangan, characterized by a series of stepped ridges and coral canyons dropping into deeper water. The shallower sections support extensive hard coral fields populated by green sea turtles, while the deeper ridges shelter resting reef sharks and schools of pelagics swept along by regular oceanic currents.
