About Taket Malang
Taket Malang is a boat dive northeast of Gili Meno where seamount ridges and white-sand gaps create a classic glide-over-the-top profile. Coral gardens build on the shallower ridges, while the deeper sections hold the strongest reef structure and the most rewarding swim-through feel. Mild currents and the changing profile make it better for intermediate to advanced divers than for first-timers. Turtles, reef sharks, and busy schools of fish are all part of the draw.
