Gili Islands Diving — Turtles, Frogfish and Muck Dive

Diving Gili Islands - Day 2 (Lombok, Indonesia) Three dives off the Gili Islands, Lombok, Indonesia on 20 August 2026, all in daylight. Green and hawksbill turtles, a giant frogfish among tube sponges, a painted spiny lobster under a ledge, an ornate ghost pipefish, razorfish over the sand flats, and the coral-nursery frames where new Acropora is growing back. There was a lot of current on the first dive, so some shots are less stable than I would have wanted. I also had some fog in my housing during part of the dives. Dived with Oceans Five from Gili Air (https://www.oceans5dive.com/diving-gi...) @Oceans5DiveResort Thanks to all the great diveguides and staff!
