Kapal Wall is a boat-access wall and slope
Kapal Wall is a boat-access dive site off Gili Kapal in East Lombok, known for a gentle lead-in that tips into a more dramatic wall. The profile gives the site more shape than a simple reef slope, so the dive feels varied as you move between the shallower section and the drop. Plan on a remote boat drop with limited on-site support, and aim for calmer, clearer days for the best run.
