In amongst the beautiful sloping corals of South Lombok’s stunning reefs, we also have a few sandy patches where we can look for macro critters. We usually glide pretty close to the sand to find these smaller animals but over the past week we’ve had good reason to stay a little higher in the water…
Reef Sharks in Lombok’s Gili Islands Reef sharks are relatively common in the Indo-Pacific and we get excited every time we see one around the Gili Islands!
