About Coral Basket
Coral Basket is a classic Gili Trawangan reef dive with a shallow basket-like slope, colorful coral ridges, and a deeper reef edge that keeps the site interesting for beginner and advanced divers alike. It works well as an easy scenic reef dive, but the deeper ridges still reward good trim, careful finning, and reef respect.

Coral Basket Planning Details
Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth

Depth Note
The site begins in shallow water around 5-12 m, then drops to deeper ridges around 26-40 m along the north-east coast.

Typical Conditions
Warm water, clear visibility, and a gentle coral slope with a shallow basket section before the deeper ridges.
Safety & Access At Coral Basket
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Sharp coral
Safety Notes
Keep buoyancy tight because the reef is delicate and the deeper section can tempt divers deeper than planned. Use good coral etiquette and stay aware of changing reef feel along the edge.
Access Restrictions
Shore entry is normal on the north-east coast of Gili Trawangan, though some dive plans also use short local boat hops. Follow reef rules and local briefings.
Legal Notes
This reef sits inside Gili Trawangan's marine-conservation area. Do not touch or stand on coral, and keep clear of the protected reef structure.
Local Intel For Coral Basket
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A good fit for training dives, fun dives, and relaxed reef photography. The site is beginner-friendly in the shallows, then gives more structure as you move deeper.
Freediving
Freediving only makes sense in the shallow basket area on calm days. The deeper ridges and coral heads are better left to scuba.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling can work over the shallow basket and reef crest on calm days, but the site becomes a scuba target once the ridge drops away.
