Trawangan Slope is a premier dive site located off Gili Trawangan in the Gili Islands, North Lombok. This intermediate to advanced dive features a dramatic sloping reef descending from shallow waters to depths of 40 meters (130 feet), making it suitable for experienced divers seeking deeper exploration.

Divers encounter vibrant coral formations and diverse marine life including reef sharks, barracuda, trevally, and schools of fusiliers. The slope’s dynamic currents attract pelagic species, offering thrilling opportunities for spotting larger marine animals. The site showcases healthy hard and soft corals adorning the descent.

Best suited for divers with advanced certifications, Trawangan Slope demands good buoyancy control and comfort with deeper depths. The site’s current-prone conditions require proper planning and experience. Visibility typically ranges from 15-30 meters depending on seasonal conditions.

Ideal for diving during dry season months, Trawangan Slope remains a highlight destination for adventurous divers exploring Lombok’s exceptional underwater environment in West Nusa Tenggara.
