About this site
Turtle Point is a shallow reef off the beach on Gili Air, reached by walking in from the shore with no boat needed. The reef starts in barely three metres of water and slopes away gently to about twelve metres, with anemone gardens and coral heads set in pale sand.
Green and hawksbill turtles are on the reef on nearly every dive, grazing the shallow corals or resting on the sand. The calm, shallow water makes it a beginner dive.
