Best for advanced divers, 10-40m, boat entry, moderate current.
Gili Biaha is a crescent-shaped rocky outcrop near Padang Bai, offering a diverse topography of walls, slopes, canyons, and a cave. The site is divided into a more protected south-west section and a turbulent north side. Divers encounter a dense coral reef surrounding the island, with depths ranging from 10 to 40 metres. Due to the potential for strong currents, down currents, and cold thermoclines that can drop to 20°C, this site is strictly for advanced divers. Access is by boat, with typical dives lasting 45 minutes. Visibility generally ranges from 10 to 30 metres, though conditions vary significantly around the island.
