Boat ride, access, and shallow reef life.
Advanced boat dive on a coral seamount.
Mirkos is a boat dive off Gili Meno centered on a long coral ridge and seamount that runs through blue-water channels. The site is known for pristine coral, schooling reef fish, and the kind of current that can pull bigger fish through in numbers. Plan it with a guide, because the depth and current make it best for advanced divers or confident intermediates on the right tide.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Boat-diving the ridge works best on the right tide, with current-aware drift segments and plenty of coral structure to follow.
Freediving
Not a freedive target; the depth and current suit scuba much better.
Snorkeling
Snorkelling is limited to the very shallow edges and is not the main use case.
