Marine life is also similar to that found in Bali, conditions in the Lombok Strait can be hairy with those strong currents from the Indonesian Throughflow. The rewarding result is rich underwater biodiversity, during certain times of the year large fish such as sharks, eagle rays, turtles and manta rays also visit the reefs. There is also the chance to see schooling hammerheads at Blongas Bay.
