About this site

Hans Reef sits in the waters off Gili Air, one of the three small islands north of Lombok in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Gili Air lies within the broader Gili archipelago, an area reached by boat from Bangsal harbor on the Lombok coast or from neighboring Gili Trawangan and Gili Meno. The site sits over a reef bottom with light current, reaching a maximum depth of 21 metres, and is rated a beginner dive. Divers regularly find angelfish, cuttlefish, flying gurnard, frogfish, garden eels, lionfish, moray eels, nudibranchs, pipefish, scorpionfish, sea turtles, and stingrays here. Barracuda, clownfish, ghost pipefish, harlequin shrimp, leaf scorpionfish, octopus, pufferfish, seahorses, squid, stonefish, surgeonfish, and sweetlips have also been reported on the reef.
