Turtle Heaven

The pinnacle off of the north-eastern side of Gili Meno is home for many of the sea turtles around the Gili islands. This site is a slope that leads out to a pinnacle stretching from 9m to 30m with corals covering all the sides.

Critters at this site

Green turtles spend their days laying around on the shallower part of the pinnacle. You will also see sergeant majors, fusiliers, and surgeon fish swimming on top of the pinnacle.
