About this site
Gili Selang lies off Bali's easternmost point at the entrance to the Lombok Strait, and it is a boat dive for those wanting an adrenaline rush. It is rated Advanced, runs 5 to 25 metres, and an experienced guide is essential.
The coral walls are covered in soft corals. If the current is not too strong, you can get below 20 metres, where there is normally a lot of pelagic action. Currents are very unpredictable, with up and down currents a regular occurrence, and run medium to strong. Visibility is 15 to 20 metres.
Pygmy seahorses, turtles and patrolling reef sharks are among the animals.
