Gili Mimpang Gili Tepekong & Gili Biaha, These small islands and rocky outcrops lie just a kilometer off the East coast of Padang Bai Bali . In good conditions the three Islands in Amuk Bay - Gili Mimpang can be reached in a 10-15 minutes by speedboat from Padang Bai.

Gili (or Island) Mimpang consists of four small islands between Gili Tepekong and the Bali mainland. Underwater, the vast amount of sea fans offers some superb underwater scenery. Clouds of angelfish and chromis can be seen amongst the schools of other fish. It is common to see Napoleon wrasse here, as well as black rays, leopard sharks, and white tip reef sharks. This site really only goes down to around 18m so there is plenty of time to explore this beautiful site. The dive site is just 5 minutes away from Goat Island. It offers similar characteristic to the Goat Island with a specialty of Shark Diving. During 90% of the dives we made here, we saw Sharks at around 18 to 23m, sometimes more than 10 Sharks.
