About this site

Hidden Reef sits off Gili Meno, one of the three small islands north of Lombok in West Nusa Tenggara, within the Gili Islands group known for its shallow surrounding reefs. The site lies in the channel waters between Gili Meno and the neighboring islands, accessible by short boat trips from shore, and reaches a maximum depth of around 35 metres over a reef bottom. It is rated a beginner dive with light current and great visibility, though divers have also reported stronger currents at times. Angelfish, batfish, nudibranchs, and pipefish are common here, and divers have also reported sightings of bannerfish, barracuda, clownfish, frogfish, fusiliers, garden eels, grouper, leaf scorpionfish, mantis shrimp, parrotfish, snapper, stingrays, sweetlips, trevally, triggerfish, tuna, wobbegong, and even manta rays and whale sharks passing through.
