About this site
Gili Mimpang is a group of four small islands between Gili Tepekong and the Bali mainland, in Amuk Bay near Padang Bai and Candidasa. It is a boat dive for skilled divers, since the currents here are strong, tricky and unpredictable. They run hardest around full and dark moon.
The reef only goes down to around 18 m, which leaves plenty of time to explore. A vast number of sea fans decorate the scenery, and clouds of angelfish and chromis mix with the other schooling fish. Napoleon wrasse, black rays, leopard sharks and whitetip reef sharks are common. Visibility ranges from about 15 to 30 m and the water runs 26 to 30 C.
