Description for the dive shop Aquaddiction - Gili Islands - Indonesia

Aquaddiction is located a few minutes’ walk from the main dock.
Aquaddiction is a small dive shop with a great atmosphere. With the emphasis on small dive groups and long dives.
Aquaddiction is a welcome change from the ‘factory’ approach to diving so often found in Asia. Our beachfront location is the perfect place to chill out between dives, study for courses and of course…to hold our famous beach BBQ’s!
Our custom built dive boat can reach even the furthest dive sites in around 10 minutes and with maximum four people per group and no time limits on dives you can dodge the crowds and have what every diver wants…more time underwater! We also have an in-house camera rental service or, if you prefer, our resident professional photographer and videographer can accompany you underwater and record what we hope is your perfect dive! Whether trying diving for the first time, continuing your diving education or just fun diving, Aquaddiction’s international team of Instructors and resident Course Directors allow us to offer training from Open Water to Instructor with both PADI and SSI in a variety of languages. Our Instructors and guides can draw on a wealth of local diving knowledge to show you everything the Gili’s have to offer: from turtles, stingrays and sharks to pygmy seahorses and if you’re lucky…a passing manta ray!

Gili Trawangan is very beautiful places. No car and motorcycle here,very good atmosphere. I stay near the harbour. First day I decided to dive with aquaddiction. Nice diveshop. With my openwater card, they suggest me to go to divesite called Bounty Wreck. The problem is, the divemaster that took me for the dive is actually an instructor, and during the dive he really actually ask me to wait for him to do the skill with his student, and when his student low on air, he decide to take me to finish the dive too. what is going on??? Im still have 120 Bar on my tank, and the dive only just for 27 minutes????? what kind of services that i got here??? Im reall dissapointed with their services, and when I try to speak with the manager, I think his name is Andy, he even dont say a word to me about whats happening during the dive.
I only dive with them 1 times because i dont want to waste my money for such a terrible dive. Im really not recommend to dive with this company

 

Go There or fall victim to the disney land dive doucheness.

I went for like one dive and ended up staying for my advanced and nitrox course completing around 15 dives with these guys. Definitely a fun crew, the boat was VERY clean, comfortable and organized. Both the dive instructors and boat crew were solid. No horsing/joking around so every diver was always very clear on the situation.

One of the major benefits was the level of personalization with these guys. I can't tell you how many times we saw other groups from some of the "disney" dive schools with around 6-10 people in a group. There are much larger dive schools if thats what you're in to. Just don't forget your cowbell when you start herding with the rest of the cattle. I never dove with more than 4 and usually it was just 2 or 3. This is crucial because when one idiot runs out of air at 25 min then you all have to go up.

The bungalows were solid for the price. Their location is second to none as it is only 50 meters to the main part of the beach. Many times id be tanning then run to the boat for a dive and be back on the beach within 2 hours. So location is VERY convenient. I'd recommend these guys. You won't be disappointed.
