Salut Dropoff

Near Gili Lawang is the drop-off area Salut Drop-off. This is a dive site from 4 until 40 meters deep. There is a lot of hard and soft coral, like brancish and tabulate coral, in this area, of which 85% is intact. Also you can see a lot of Acropora coral. On the bottom you can see a lot of shrimps and crabs, because around the island is a lot of mangrove. It's a good place to do a night dive. At Salut Drop-off you can find different kinds of sponge. The current can be quite strong. But you can also see a lot of big fish like Barracuda, Parrot fist and White-Tip Shark. We often survey this area for marine monitoring. Go by boat from Gili Lawang and sail to the east until you can see the baeches of Lombok island between Gili Lawang and Gili Sulat. Maybe you have to sail a bit to the south also.
