Review Body: Gili Divers gave me an experience I’ll never forget. I signed up for their Try Dive, which started with an hour of pool practice to get comfortable, and from that moment I knew I was in good hands. The instructors are not only highly skilled but also genuinely caring, they make sure you feel safe and confident before heading into the ocean.
I’ve always been uneasy around the sea, but my instructor, Sergie, made the whole process effortless. Once we were underwater, all I had to do was breathe, equalize, and take in the stunning marine life around me. I felt completely at ease and could truly enjoy the magic of diving without fear.
This was easily the highlight of my entire trip. If you’re considering scuba for the first time, don’t hesitate, Gili Divers will make it an incredible and worry-free experience.

Review Body: The Gili divers are the best! We started with a try dive and couldn’t stop there. We decided to get certified and I’m so happy I chose to do it with this team. They make sure you feel comfortable and take precaution and safety very seriously. A special thanks to Jimmy for being a great dive master and instructor. He was so much fun and made the training days enjoyable and helped me build my confidence. Thank you Gili divers, you guys are awesome!

Review Body: Went diving with my partner and had a phenomenal time. We did the Discovery Dive. Our instructor Adrian was patient, knowledgeable, and assisted us throughout the dive. Highly recommend Gili Divers for either an intro to diving or their open water course. Felt safe and confident. Our photographer Soizic was fabulous as well! Stunning video footage.

Review Body: Mireia was a fantastic instructor!! I couldn’t recommend her more to anyone! I started doing a discovery dive and she was so supportive that I felt confident and comfortable enough with her to go through and complete my open water cert. I would recommend asking for her by name if you come to Gilli to learning!!!
