Sekotong is a coastal area in West Lombok, Lombok Island, facing the Bali Sea on the Indonesian side of the Indian Ocean. It’s a relatively low-profile gateway for divers heading to the south Lombok and Gili area, with few dedicated dive centers nearby and limited local diving options given the current data. Access is via road from Mataram or Lombok International Airport, and nearby dive infrastructure tends to be distributed along the southern coast. For divers, Sekotong serves as a stepping stone to broader Lombok dive sites, with marine life opportunities typically tied to broader Indian Ocean reefs and pelagic action a short boat ride away from established centers. (Note: with only one local dive center and no listed significant dive sites, the area is more of a regional access point than a diving hub.)
