About Lighthouse
Located at the northern tip of Gililawa Laut, Lighthouse is a great site to dive if you are into fish but it does not have much to show in term of hard corals. It is a good choice if currents Crystal and Castle are too strong. Drop in 500 meters before the point on the northern side of the island and travel reef right out to the point. You should have a slight current behind you. It is a reef slope with very nice rocks in the shallows, and a reef slope down to a sandy bottom at about 30 meters. The rock near the end of the dive, close to the point are the exit point for this dive, go past them and you will be into the current!

Dive Site Hazards

  • Eddy Pull-Off Zones — Eddies behind structures can pull divers away from the main drift line.

  • Delayed Surface Pickup — Strong current can exceed surface tracking assumptions, delaying boat pickup.

  • Vertical Current Shear — Currents may vary by depth, causing vertical separation even when divers stay together.

  • Hidden Depth Variations — Complex reef topography can conceal depth changes, leading to unintended profile variations.

  • Distraction from Marine Activity — High fish activity can distract divers and delay depth or gas awareness.

  • Rapid Surge Direction Changes — Surge near reef structures can reverse direction quickly, pushing divers sideways into unexpected areas.

  • Situational Awareness Loss — Divers may fixate on sharks and lose depth or position awareness.

  • Subtle Behavioural Shifts — Changes in shark behaviour may be missed without active observation.

  • Blue-Water Reference Loss — Lack of visual references increases ascent and descent instability.
