About Biorocks
Biorocks is a shallow east-Gili Trawangan house-reef style dive where restoration frames sit on a gently sloping bottom and attract small marine life. It is better known as a patient macro and muck-style site than as a dramatic reef, with rays, seahorses, pipefish, and other critters giving the area its appeal.

Safety Notes
Biorocks is usually easy, but the shallow depth means surge and surface movement are felt sooner on windy days. Divers should avoid touching the restoration frames and attached growth.
