Gilis
The sites of Amuk Bay which are available from Padang Bay by boat are:
Gili Tepekong
This dive site is the most famous and largest site of the Gilis Amuk. It is 30 minutes from Padang Bay by boat. Depending on conditions, you can dive on various sites around Tepekong.
Its canyon which has a striking structure attracts pelagic fish such as moon fish, or sharks (white tip or others), large napoleon fish and parrotfish. Its canyon looks like a huge mountain due to its current.
Its corals are protected and calmer than the canyon and become the hiding places for the juvenile white tip sharks, reef fish, nudibranchs and many others.
Because of its distance from the coast, this site can provide pleasant surprises at any time in its blue sea.
Gili Minpang or three rocks
This dive site is a group of 4 rocks near Tepekong; The rock on the south has damaged because in 1961 to 1962 the Indonesian army did military trials that broke its structure. You will see the hard and soft corals. This site is full of small reef fish, white tip sharks which are being cleaned regularly, and possibly humpback parrotfish, wrasses, and turtles. This site is interesting to explore.
Gili Biaha
It is the furthest site from Padang Bay which is famous for its shark caves. If conditions permit, you can go there and approach the white tip sharks that rest there during the day (emotion guaranteed).
