About Deep Halik

Deep Halik is a deep reef, ridges, canyons dive in North Gili Trawangan, with a working depth range of approximately 25–40 m. The site is known for gorgonian fans, groupers, moray eels, sweetlips, and stingrays.

Best months to dive

May–October often provides the clearest conditions, although the reefs are dived throughout the year when daily conditions permit.

Diving is available year-round when wind, swell and current permit. May–October often brings clearer dry-season water; wet-season visibility is more variable. Wildlife encounters are never guaranteed.

Dive tips

  • Follow the local guide’s site- and tide-specific briefing.
  • Agree a maximum depth within certification limits; the published site range is 25–40 m.
  • Maintain neutral buoyancy and avoid contact with coral, artificial structures and the seabed.
  • Plan a conservative maximum depth and gas reserve, remain above the guide-selected ridge and deploy an SMB for pickup.
  • Treat wildlife encounters as possible, never guaranteed, and give animals space.

Underwater photography

Wide-angle equipment suits the reef structure and larger marine life. Set exposure before entering current, keep the rig streamlined and secured, and prioritise depth, gas, buoyancy and buddy contact over the photograph.
