Gap Year Diver

Gili Trawangan is one of 3 small tropical islands located off the North West coast of Lombok, Indonesia commonly known as “The Gilis”. Only a 2 hour fast boat ride from Bali, the islands offer a tranquil escape from the usual tourist trail. Fringed in pristine white sand beaches and vibrant off shore corals, Gili Trawangan (the largest of the 3 islands) can be walked around and enjoyed in less than 2 hours at a leisurely stroll. There are no motorised vehicles on any of the islands and the most common mode of transportation is by bike, although the islands “cidomos”, a small horse drawn cart, can offer a more authentic Indonesian transport experience.

The diving in the Gilis is second to none. The Indo-Pacific ocean boasts the widest variety of marine life the world over and it is not uncommon to see, on any given dive , turtles, reef sharks, blue spotted stingrays, eagle rays, eels, octopus, cuttle fish, schools of bump head parrotfish, traveley, snappers and endless other tropical fish. The visibility averages from 20-30 meters and the water temperature hovers around 28°C. All our dive sites are just off the three Gilis so you’re never travelling more than 20 mins by boat. We enjoy moderate currents so all our dives are drift dives. Just roll in the water let the current carry you along the reef and the boat comes and picks you up at the end of your dive. Simply put, you could not ask for a better dive experience.
