Gusti is a guide you can ask any question and will give you an honest answer. He is absolutely reliable and you can feel safe going on a trip with him. Because he already spent some time in Germany back in the days he even speaks some German. He’s a blithe spirit who loves singing and is not only getting you insides on the Balinese culture but is also open to getting to know yours.

The open water courses are really nice, Dylan was the best instructor, really funny, and taught really well. The coral restoration site is beautiful and very big. I recommend 👍

Livingseas is top-tier! Got my SSI Open Water certification here back in December 2025 as a complete beginner. A huge shoutout to Lea and Abe for being incredible instructors and making my first dives so seamless. I really enjoyed the corral planting and it amazing the work that you guys are doing restoring the reef.

I loved it so much I came back to complete my Advanced course with Dylan! Amazing team, high safety standards, and fantastic energy all around.

Also many thanks to Leon and his team of volunteers for fun post dive hangout at Wholesome Hub.

Dylan and Cosme are excellent instructors! The site selection is amazing and the company was able to source a prescription scuba mask for me (-5 in both eyes).

For everyone’s reference, they teach SSI. The coral restoration work is quite remarkable and it was an honor to participate in my own small way.

This whole experience was so easy and amazing! We were able to arrange a pick up as we were outside of the designated area and it was so easy and we had great communication with Edi. Our driver for the day, Derek, was fabulous and was so knowledgeable with all the areas around Bali. He made our experience that much better! The snorkeling was also great and an unforgettable experience! I can’t recommend Gordo Bali enough!

I absolutely loved the experience! It was so meaningful to actually plant coral fragments and see how even small actions help the reef and the fish thrive. The guide is expert and explain everything clearly, from spotting healthy coral to how the reef has grown over the years — it’s amazing to see the fish population increasing and coral flourishing. Even with the choppy seas, the life jackets and guidance made it safe and fun, and I really appreciated how the team combines conservation with supporting the local community. It’s such a rewarding experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves the ocean and wants to make a real difference.
