The Lighthouse is a renowned drift dive off the point of Gili Lawa Laut, named after the navigation beacon on the headland above. Two submerged pinnacles rise from the deep, covered in large table corals and surrounded by schools of triggerfish, surgeonfish, and red-toothed triggerfish. Strong currents bring nutrient-rich water that supports an impressive density of marine life. On good days, manta rays cruise through the channel.
