Gili Mimpang

Dive site in
Improve

Gili Mimpang has a depth between 5 and 30 meters and it is recommended only to the advanced and experienced diver, as the currents in the area are notorious for being strong and unpredictable.

There are three little rock islands at this dive site, housing a variety of soft and hard corals, sweetlips, batfish, snappers, barracudas, shrimps, triggerfish, devil rays and turtles.

The cold currents increase the chances of pelagic species being spotted here, and divers can therefore occasionally encounter sunfish (mola mola) or reef sharks.

The minimum visibility here is of 15 meters and it can sometimes reach 30 meters.

Water temperature varies, so divers need to make sure they are wearing an appropriate wetsuit.

Gili Mimpang, also known as Batu Tiga, is a reef/drift dive site consisting of three large rocks followed by six smaller ones. The area is frequented by whitetip reef sharks, wobbegong sharks, coral catsharks, and Mola molas, which makes it a great place to spot elusive creatures.

The Mola molas are usually spotted in September, but there’s a chance you’ll see one off-season too. During the Mola mola season, the site gets pretty busy.

Trevallies, bumpheads, angelfish, crimson basslets, eagle rays, nudibranchs, and many more can also be seen in the area.

Strong currents may be present here at times. This spot is recommended for experienced divers; newbies should stick to calmer seas.

Diving at Gili Mimpang is possible year-round and access is done from the shore.
