Deep Turbo

Deep Turbo is an advanced dive site in the channel between Gili Meno and Gili Trawangan, named for the powerful turbine-like currents that sweep through this narrow passage. The site features a deep reef slope with healthy coral coverage that descends into the channel's depths, where the current concentrates impressive aggregations of pelagic fish. Eagle rays, mobula rays, and large schools of trevally are regularly encountered in the blue water column, while the reef itself harbors whitetip reef sharks, large Napoleon wrasse, and bumphead parrotfish. The current can be unpredictable and powerful, sometimes changing direction mid-dive, which demands experienced guides and competent drift diving skills. When conditions are favorable, Deep Turbo offers the Gili Islands' most thrilling big-animal encounters in a setting where the raw power of the ocean is palpable. This is not a site for the faint-hearted, but it rewards brave divers with memories that last a lifetime.
