Halik is a shoreline-parallel reef on the north side of Gili Trawangan, with a shallow platform edge, coral bommies, and deeper ridges that keep the dive interesting from start to finish. It suits a wide range of divers, but the stronger current windows and deeper ridges reward good buoyancy and a deliberate route. Plan it as a flexible Gili dive that can be relaxed in the shallows or more demanding as you follow the reef deeper.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
5m - 40m
Depth Note
Shallow platform edge from about 5-6m, with deeper ridges and canyons down to about 40m.
Best Season
Year-round, with calmer windows in January to March.
Typical Conditions
Shallow platform edge, deeper ridges, and drift potential when current is light; stronger current can show up around full and new moon.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Safety Notes
Current can strengthen around full and new moon, so timing and buoyancy matter.
Access Restrictions
Best with a local dive center and steady buoyancy; the reef rewards controlled drift planning and careful reef-edge choices.
Legal Notes
Follow local dive-operator guidance and any Gili Trawangan access rules for the day.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A sloping reef with gullies and deeper parallel ridges offers a range of depths from shallow to around 40 m.
Freediving
The shallow platform can work, but the full reef is more rewarding as scuba or drift diving.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is limited to the shallow platform edge and is not the main draw.
