H2O Sportz Indonesia - Lombok & Gili Islands
The team at H2O Sportz Indonesia, operating from The Oberoi Lombok, have carved out a real niche for divers who appreciate a more intimate, unhurried experience. They’re PADI pros, but honestly, what we love most is their approach to diving the Gili Islands and the Lombok coast. It feels less like a cattle call and more like a bespoke trip with friends. We’ve had some truly tranquil dives with them, particularly exploring the reefs off Medana Bay – think gentle drifts over soft corals with the sound of the boat engine fading as you descend. Our favourite tip? Ask them about an early morning dive at Shark Point around Gili Trawangan. Before the crowds arrive, the reef comes alive with white-tip reef sharks cruising the current, and you’ll often find green sea turtles still resting in the coral bommies. Visibility here can push 25-30 metres, giving you that dreamy, endless blue feel. They really shine when it comes to personalised service, whether you’re just getting certified or you’re a seasoned diver looking for those quiet, less-trodden spots. If you’re staying at The Oberoi, it’s a no-brainer, but even if you’re not, H2O Sportz offers a premium, focused diving experience that’s hard to beat in the Gilis.
