In a lot of dive destinations there are dive sites with names that only gives you as diver false expectations. There are Manta Points, Sharkpoints, Frogfish Points etc which doesnt offer what the name tells you. Sharkpoint on the Gili islands is not a dive site like that! Sharkpoint has his sharks!

Sharkpoint is the most famous dive spot around the Gili Islands. Its located on the West side of Gili Trawangan. A flat sandy bottom turns into a series of progressively deeper canyons that run parallel to the shore.

In the shallow part of Sharkpoint you will find for sure turtles in all kind of sizes. This will the Hawksbill and Green Sea Turtle. In the deeper part there is a good change to see the White Tip Reef Sharks, the school of Jack Fish and Baracudas.

Around full moon the Bumphead Parrotfish shows up from the deeper part of the ocean. This is one of the most beautiful moments that you as diver can have surrounded with 30 Bumpheads.

Sharkpoint is a dive site that is never boring, there is always a lot of marine life around. The dive site is suitable for all kind of divers.

Enjoy your dive!
