Eagle Corner is a shallow Gili reef and turtle site.
Eagle Corner is a shallow Gili reef and turtle site.
Eagle Corner is a short-boat Gili reef with a shallow coral slope, mixed soft and hard corals and a lot of easy turtle watching. The site is named for an underwater eagle statue and works well as a relaxed, colourful reef dive with compact topography and enough structure to keep the route interesting. It is best in calmer, clearer months, because the Gili Islands can get wetter and more current-prone later in the year.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A gentle coral reef dive with an underwater eagle statue and easy turtle sightings, best for relaxed reef exploration.
Freediving
Short shallow apnea sessions are possible in calm water, but the site is really a guided boat reef rather than a freedive specialty.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling works well because the reef stays shallow and the coral structure is easy to follow near the surface.
