GILI BIAHA
Gili Biaha is about four kilometers away from Gili Tepekong and is not really dived by many operators due to the varying conditions of the site. Strong currents, both up and down are common.
There is a beautiful and healthy reef around the island. The inside area of the crescent has a cave large enough for divers to enter, in which white tip reef shark are often seen sleeping. The area outside the cave has some interesting corals with many shrimp and crab, which is great if you love looking for macro life.
This dive site is certainly worth the effort providing the conditions are right.
