Bounty Wreck, Gili Islands, Lombok

Gili Islands, Lombok

The Bounty Wreck is a pier structure that sank in a storm in 1999, off west Gili Meno. It is now covered in soft coral and works as an artificial reef. The top is about 8–10 m and the slope runs down to about 16–18 m.

Entry is by boat. On the structure there are schools of drummerfish, scorpionfish among the coral, and frogfish. One rock nearby is full of glassfish. The hill beside the wreck often has turtles. Pygmy seahorses are sometimes in the coral growth.
