I played with beautiful little turtles that were helped along to recovery by the locals.

You can find only meters away Galapagos sized bigger ones, who will make any dive a true adventure. You can hold on to their shells (GENTLY) and get a free ride or two :)

The locals are amazing and all Gilis can be visited in a half day tour from Lombok at a little less than US$30, hiring an entire boat for yourself + captain.

Meno also has accomodation, just as Trawangan, if you are keen on staying a few nights.

Very peaceful and a once in a lifetime experience for divers. :)
