“Together with our Instructors and Divemasters we offer a wealth of diving experience unequalled in Lombok and the Gili Islands.”

Gili T diving offers an unparalleled experience for both novice and seasoned divers. Diving on Gili Trawangan, the largest of the three Gili Islands, presents a unique opportunity to explore some of the most vibrant and diverse underwater ecosystems in Indonesia. Here, scuba diving on the Gili Islands is not just an activity; it's an adventure into a world of breathtaking beauty and marine diversity.

One of the key advantages of Gili Islands diving is the accessibility of its dive sites. With calm, clear waters and an abundance of marine life, the conditions are perfect year-round for divers of all skill levels. From slopes, walls and sea mounds to deeper, challenging dives, Gili Trawangan caters to every diver's preference. Muck diving, wreck diving, drift diving and more are all available around the Gili Islands.

Gili T diving stands out for its exceptional biodiversity. The underwater landscape around Gili Trawangan is a thriving habitat for a wide array of marine species, from coral reefs teeming with tropical fish to an abundance of majestic sea turtles, regular sightings of reef sharks and the occasional Manta ray. This rich marine life makes diving on Gili Trawangan a truly memorable experience.

However, it’s not all wonderful, while the variety of aquatic life is amazing, the colourful coral life in the shallows is not what it used to be. The effects of El Nino on the sea water temperature in the late 1990’s killed a lot of the coral in the shallows meaning the colours are not what they used to be, and while the coral is still in good shape the deeper you go the colours can only be fully appreciated on night dives when you use a torch. (NOTE: red is no longer visible at a depth of 8 meters (20 feet).

Moreover, the commitment to eco-friendly diving practices on the Gili Islands ensures a sustainable approach to exploring the underwater world. Dive centers and conservation initiatives work together to preserve the delicate marine ecosystem, making scuba diving on the Gili Islands not only a pleasure but also a contribution to marine conservation.

In conclusion, Gili Trawangan offers an extraordinary diving experience. Its stunning underwater vistas, rich marine biodiversity, and responsible diving practices make it a premier destination for anyone seeking the ultimate Gili Islands diving experience.
