Coral pinnacle dive known for turtles off Gili Meno.
Coral pinnacle dive known for turtles off Gili Meno.
Turtle Heaven is a boat dive off the north-east side of Gili Meno on a coral slope that rises into a turtle-rich pinnacle. It is a short, easy-to-organize run from the Gili dive centers, with enough structure to keep newer divers comfortable and enough marine life to keep experienced photographers interested. The draw is the coral cover, turtles, and a calm, guided boat rhythm rather than a demanding technical profile.
