Time Divers Penida - Lombok & Gili Islands
Time Divers Penida, despite the name, bases itself out of Lombok and the Gili Islands. We’ve found them to be a solid choice for exploring the local sites, especially if you appreciate a smaller, more personal operation. They run trips to the usual suspects around the Gilis – think Turtle Heaven for the green and hawksbill encounters, or Shark Point, where we've often spotted white-tip reef sharks cruising the deeper sections. For those staying on Lombok itself, they're a good gateway to the mainland’s less-dived spots, though you'll want to confirm specific itineraries. They offer courses, which is handy, but their real strength lies in guiding divers who want a relaxed pace away from the bigger, busier operators.
