Wreck diving around the Gili Islands gives divers a totally different experience comparing when they dive a coral reef.
Diving a construction underwater that doesn’t belong there on the first place can increase the marine diversity on that area. The biodiversity that can be supported by them is commonly world-class, attracting all manner of species, from the smallest of macro life to the giants of the sea. The wrecks will be covered over time with coral and will act as natural coral reef.
Like in any other form of diving, wreck diving takes pride in the marine biodiversity that has grown around and inside a shipwreck. Some of the most breathtaking underwater habitat actually formed from wrecks that scuba divers dream of exploring.
Many divers also find wreck diving interesting because they are intrigued with the sunken ship’s exciting or tragic history. Stories of the wreck add up to the excitement of the exploration, some even considered underwater cultural heritage and significant archaeological sites.
Furthermore, a wreck dive site proves to be a challenge for divers especially for beginners. The procedure in this type of diving differs from others in a sense that it requires more training for the higher risks it possess.
The Gili Islands offer two dive sites with wrecks:
The Bounty Wreck is located at the Southwest side of Gili Meno. It is a sunken jetty. The story about the Bounty Wreck tells that the local community bombed the jetty in 2000. The name of the jetty is related to the resort to whom the jetty belongs and the fast boat that brought visitors from Bali to the Gili Islands.
Over time the Bounty Wreck became popular for scuba divers. The wreck is a home for a big school of Drummer fish and Rabbit Fish. Divers will find these schools at the side of the wreck swimming against the current. The wreck is also a perfect place to spot macro life, like Frogfish, Sea moth, Pygmy seahorse, and Nudibranch.
Between the dive sites Halik and Sharkpoint the wreck Glenn Nusa is situated. In 2016 the Glenn Nusa was sunk to create a new dive site. Before the Glenn Nusa became a wreck it was a tugboat. The ship is 22 meters tall and 6 meters high. It has open spaces which scuba diving instructor can use to teach the penetration dive of the wreck specialty.
These days the Glenn Nusa attracts Sharks, Trevallies, Sweatlips, Groupers and Snappers.

Let’s face it. Growing a business is hard. From the pandemic to inflation and war, it’s become more challenging to thrive amid the upheaval.
What’s clear: your company’s future success depends on your ability to determine which strategies will sustain growth.
It takes considerable effort. But we’re here to help you get there.
Before we get started, it’s important for you to have a deep understanding of your company’s business direction, resources, strengths and capabilities. Complete visibility is key to making data-driven decisions. Then, you can evaluate the market and assess consumer needs and how they are being met by companies today.
Now, let’s examine how to analyse these factors to ignite your next growth opportunity.
Divide consumer audiences based on traits they share. This will help you target the right people in the most effective way.
Consumer segments can be broken down by demographic and geographic variables like age, gender, place of residence, education, occupation and household income. Behavioural variables, such as lifestyle, attitude, values and purchasing motivations can help you tailor your marketing efforts.
Demographic variables estimate your number of potential customers. For example, a diaper producer will know how many children under three live in a certain country. Behavioural variables pinpoint purchase decision motivations including price, convenience, durability, design and sustainability.
Demographic segments are constantly evolving. Today, Generation X and millennials are driving the labour force globally. If your business strategy involves targeting specific age groups, for example, it’s critical to tailor your tactics to their different needs.
How do brands use consumer segmentation to reach new audiences?
Aguas Danone, a bottled water company in Argentina, was looking for new product ideas to recover lost sales. The company identified two drivers behind non-alcoholic drinks consumption: health and flavour. While bottled water was perceived as healthy, it didn’t offer good taste. Soft drinks and juices tasted good but were perceived as highly caloric. This generated the idea to launch flavoured bottled waters Ser with great success.
Bolivian dairy brand Delizia launched a Tradición line of limited-edition ice cream flavours that celebrate traditional cuisine. Nostalgia and local traditions motivate Bolivians, which formulated the idea to create a new line of products to target these consumers.
Organisations that use consumer segmentation to tailor their narratives, marketing and products will sell more effectively. Read more about learning and development training.
The buying decision-making process is anything but straightforward. A multitude of factors can impact what, when and where consumers buy. You have to understand your customer’s buying patterns so you can alter your offerings to influence those decisions. Some questions to ask are:
Look at distribution channels and payment methods, among others, to uncover your customer’s buying patterns. This will help you position your product towards their interests.
Let’s dig into the retail sector as an example. Today, consumers expect speed and convenience. Retailers that understood these new preferences adjusted their business models to attract more customers. With quick commerce, brands started providing delivery in minutes and capitalised on consumers’ impulse purchases to reap the rewards.
Gopuff, the instant grocery startup, used this trend to grow significantly. The company operates in 900 cities across the US, expanding into the UK in 2021 and France in 2022.
Fintech players are also appealing to consumers who are strapped for cash. With rising inflation costs, alternative payment options like buy now, pay later are bringing in new revenue streams. Younger consumers have been the primary source of growth so far, but interest from older consumers has been increasing.
Buying patterns can tell you a lot about your customers. Use this information to meet them where they are.
Direct competitors offer similar products or services. For example, Coca-Cola and Pepsi or Netflix and Hulu.
Do comprehensive research on where your business stands in the marketplace. And know what other key players are doing to build a powerful competitive edge. Then, find out how they size up against your business.
Critical questions you must ask are:
Take IKEA for example. In 2022, they entered a new market, opening their first store in Chile. But before they decided to expand, IKEA did extensive research. Most likely looking at competitors like Sodimac who already had 74 outlets in the country.
This type of analysis can make or break success.
Indirect competitors target a similar audience but sell different products that satisfy the same needs. For example, Coca-Cola and Tropicana or Netflix and Marvel comics.
Analysing what companies are doing in substitute industries or categories can help improve your offerings and reach new audiences.
Let’s look at airlines for example. Air carriers may look for opportunities in consumer segments currently supplied by other means of transport. Effective questions to ask are:
