About this spot
Meno Wall sits off Gili Meno, a small island in North Lombok's Gili trio. The site lies within the Taman Wisata Perairan marine protected area, which spans all three Gili islands. The wall structure provides varied terrain for exploration, with reef life distributed along the drop. Visibility and depth vary by season and exact entry point, so check local conditions before diving. The site sits in a coral reef system that shows signs of thermal stress. The reef supports documented species observed in the area, and community divers have recorded video evidence of the site's character. The marine park status means the site receives protection and monitoring, though coral recovery remains an ongoing concern in the region. Access is via boat from Gili Meno village. Local dive operators on the islands can arrange trips, though you'll want to confirm their qualifications and insurance before booking. Year-round diving is possible, but seasonal swells and currents shift throughout the year. The site works for divers with solid water skills, as current and surge are common considerations.
