Summary

Gili Meno Wall is a boat-access site on the northwest side of Gili Meno composed of two adjacent vertical coral walls with a sandy gap and coral bommies. The reef drops from about 5 m to roughly 20-25 m and is covered in dense hard and soft corals, offering an open-water wall experience with abundant marine life; it is widely regarded as a “turtle heaven” with frequent turtle sightings. Typical dives descend one wall, drift across the sandy channel and ascend the opposite wall. Depths range from about 5 m to 20-25 m, visibility is often 10-30 m and water temperatures are roughly 24-29 °C. Entry is by boat; currents are usually mild in this sheltered corner but can increase (especially around low tide), so drift diving is possible when the tide runs. Night dives are common. Divers should be prepared for occasional current, refrain from touching corals, and follow standard marine park rules.
