I did 2 dive in Gili Air, and saw my first shark there, a huge black-tip! Coral is a bit damaged there, but they are doing great efforts to accelerate coral formation. Nevertheless, still a very good dive, and pretty decent amount of corals and life! But the top ones were in Nusa Penida... the amount of life and coral there is just amazing. I did a 45-50 minute drift dive there and at most, I saw a 10m stripe of dead coral... everywhere else was just full of life! Couldn't go to Manta Point when I was there because of limited time and weather conditions unfortunately... a good excuse to go back ;)
I'm glad to know that there is still some life out there! I did a project in college about all of the coral that was dying and it just made me really incredibly sad. Thanks for telling me the best spots to hit up!

My pleasure! If you do hit them up and need advice on the scuba schools let me know, I'll just have to look up my dive log!
