Gili Biaha has two very good dive sites: Shark Cave and Biaha Slope. These two dives can be combined in one dive if the current allows it. When you go down it is possible to enter the cave where several whitetip reef shark are usually resting. You can see them from very close and take amazing photographs! There are also lobsters and lion fishes in the cave. Then you can go around the island depending on the current. Be careful this dive is only for experienced divers and entering the cave shall not be done if conditions are not perfect. Note that currents can be strong and unpredictable so stay close to the reef!
You can dive Gili Biaha all year long. Access: Boat. See the map of Gili Biaha on the right for the exact location.
