Shallow reef popular for clear-water snorkeling and frequent green turtles—ideal for underwater portraits, reef wide-angle shots, and surface reflections. Best at early morning when water is calm and visibility peaks; midday gives saturated corals but stronger sun. Access by short boat/snorkel from Gili Air; no cars (bikes/cidomo). No special permits but respect local rules: don’t touch turtles or corals. Small local operators offer guided snorkel trips and boat drops.
