Some undertow is quite common and thermoclines are present in deeper water. Some slopes are full of soft coral with reef fish hovering to get nutrients from the rich water.

The site offers a sloping reef with a terrace at 20 to 30m. The current here is usually stronger than at other places (it may reach 3 to 4 knots). This is one of the best places to see Sunfish. Normally when the condition is right, we can dive here. The marine life is similar to SD Point but not as rich.

This is a very nice spot as it is protected from swell and current. Although the current is sometimes strong, usually it is negotiable. Many Blue trigger fishes at some point and near the Pontoon, there are usually many Giant Trevally and Sharks are quite common. The reef reaches down to around 40m and is very healthy.

The coral is rich and healthy with many varieties of reef fish. It is a good place for beginner divers to experience a slight current and also for training. It is also good for snorkeling.

Malibu Point is considered one of the nicest sites in the island (besides SD and Toyapakeh). It's slightly wilder than Toyapakeh with great schools of jacks, rainbow runner, tuna, reef sharks and stingrays. There are quite many sharks, and also Stingrays. Visibility is generally very good, at least 20m. There are also some big table corals around.

It's not far from Toyapakeh. The water is always clear, and the reef is a steep, rugged slope leading into the bay. In fact, Gamat is the only good site on Lembongan that does not always require a drift dive. You need your observation skill to see the macro things which lay beneath the surface.
