West Nusa Tenggara

West Nusa Tenggara is an Indonesian province in the central Indonesian archipelago, spanning the islands of Lombok and the nearby Gili Islands. Diving here centers on the Bali Sea coastlines around Lombok, with a mix of sheltered bays, volcanic reefs, and drop-offs that attract macro life, reef fish, and occasional pelagic visits. Access is via Lombok international airport and regional ports; boat diving is common to reach outer reefs and wrecks, while some shore dives are possible around calmer bays. The region's best-known dive hubs are on Lombok's western and southern shores, with communities focusing on responsible reef tourism and conservation. The area features about a few dozen dive sites across multiple reefs, walls, and muck sites, suitable for Recreational to intermediate divers depending on the site.
