Manta Dive Gili Trawangan - Lombok & Gili Islands
The team at Manta Dive Gili Trawangan are one of our long-standing favourites in the Gilis, and for good reason. They’ve been around since 1999, which in dive shop years is practically ancient, meaning they know these waters intimately. We love their relaxed, professional vibe; it’s never rushed, which is perfect for new divers or anyone shaking off some dive rust. They’re a Diamond Rated SSI centre, offering everything from Discover Scuba Diving up to Instructor Training and even some tech courses. If you're looking to take your first breaths underwater, or perhaps finally tackle that Deep Diver specialty, Manta Dive sets a high bar. Our insider tip? Their early morning dives often hit the sites before the crowds, giving you a quieter experience with the turtles and reef sharks that frequent Shark Point. We always appreciate a dive operation that understands the value of a calm, well-briefed start to the day.
