48 human figures in a tight embracing circle on white sand at 4m, now half-buried in coral, with green turtles cruising through constantly. One of the most photographed freedive spots on earth, and shallow enough that everyone gets the shot. Installed 2016 by Jason deCaires Taylor off Gili Meno, cast from local models. It became an accidental turtle-cleaning station and the single biggest driver of freedive tourism to the Gilis. Anchorage: Anchor off Gili Meno in sand (avoid coral), settled-season stop. Hazards: No site-specific hazards noted, brief normally.
