About Gili Air Harbor
Gili Air Harbor is a harbor-side muck dive on the south tip of Gili Air where reef patches, a small pinnacle, and sheltered sand create a slow macro hunt rather than a big-reef swim. It is best after the daytime boat rush, when the site becomes a calmer search for frogfish, seahorses, pipefish, and other tiny life for patient photographers.
