Bio Rock is a premier artificial reef dive site located off Gili Trawangan in the Gili Islands, Indonesia. This unique underwater structure sits at depths ranging from 5 to 12 meters, making it ideal for divers of all experience levels.

The Bio Rock itself is an electrified reef structure designed to accelerate coral growth, creating a thriving marine ecosystem. Divers encounter vibrant coral formations, schools of tropical fish, and abundant reef life. The site showcases colorful soft corals, hard corals, and swaying sea fans alongside damselfish, fusiliers, batfish, and occasionally larger pelagic species.

The calm, clear waters of the Bali Sea provide excellent visibility, typically 10-20 meters. The gentle current and shallow depths make Bio Rock accessible for beginners, while the rich marine biodiversity appeals to experienced divers. The site offers excellent photography opportunities and is perfect for leisurely exploration.
