Tamarind Divers Lembongan - Lombok & Gili Islands
The team at Tamarind Divers Lembongan are exactly the kind of crew we love diving with. They’re a smaller, locally owned PADI operation, and that really comes through in their personalised approach. If you’re looking to escape the busier dive shops on Bali and want a dive centre that feels more like diving with friends, these are your people. They excel at creating a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, perfect for those taking their first PADI steps or experienced divers keen to explore Lembongan’s famous currents without the crowds. We’ve always found their briefings thorough but delivered with a laid-back charm, often over a strong Indonesian coffee. Their boats are comfortable, not overly packed, which means more space to gear up and better views on the surface intervals. Our favourite thing about Tamarind is how they balance safety with a real sense of adventure, particularly when tackling sites like Manta Point or the exhilarating drift dives around Nusa Penida. They really know these waters, and that local knowledge is gold, helping them find the best conditions for a relaxed dive or putting you right in the path of the big stuff.
