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.
