Description for the dive shop Gili Scuba Diving - Indonesia

We are a small group of passionate Indonesian divers, live in Gili Trawangan, Lombok and been in this industry for more than xx years...do you really need to know?
We are the first dive centre on Gili Island that fund and run by 100% local people, we dont have so many dive equipment like those big company has.
We only dive with maximum 10 people on the boat, thats include the captain, the crew and the divemaster :). We have a rules that maximum 4 people for 1 divemaster, or you might request if you want to go with your favorite divemaster. We can sit and talk about it :) We've been working at live-aboard vessels, 7-star dive centers and dive resorts around Indonesia's best waters (e.g Bali and Komodo).
Each one of us are good on at least four languages : indonesian, english, sign and body... All of us hold Divemaster and Instructor rating from those Big-Ones agencies, with a combined certifications exceeding ten thousand cards... (the ten..that's a lie). But that's not what we are going to babble about...maybe your buddy knows about us already... We simply gathered together because we share the same vision about what quality recreational diving is all about.... No mickey-mouse-divemasters who was forced-groomed by dive center owner to dive with guests and know nothing about diving theory, sneak out and hiding from you during surface intervals.. :)) And no tourist-visa-divemasters guiding you to dive sites they have no clues about..
We do everything safely, we have EmOx on the boat with us,we have water on boat for you too..so don't worry about anything, you are in very good hands :)
We bring our cameras wet underwater during our own leisure time...with the dedicated housings that is. We conduct underwater photography workshop once awhile... and it may start with one guestbuddy only...:) Topside photographers, you may know all the terms and mambo-jambo-photo-techniques, but underwater you might need us to share the tips and tricks. Until this point, you might've decided already whether to dive with us or to ignore us completely...Don't worry about the prices, we want to share our underwater world with you, so we have decided that diving should be fun, and reachable for your pocket also :) If you decide to get to know us, let's go for a dive ... If you decide to ignore us, we might bump somewhere on the island on a table full of bintang ! See you soon buddy! Cheers !!

I was trying not to be so easy when giving a rate but honestly, I wouldn't mind to give Gili Scuba Diving 5 extra stars.
It was my first scuba diving and thanks to the professionalism of the staffs, I had no problem whatsoever through all my trips in Halik and Shark Point. The explanation of the training course was brief and easy to understand, and the attitude of the divemasters were better than any possible expectation thus I overcame the fear to go under water (I really don't know how to swim and never been to 12m below the surface)
Very good equipments. They also know where to bring their customer to satisfy their expectation. The coral reef was amazingly beautiful, diverse species of fishes and the clearness of water was a great contribution to my first experience in diving. Unfortunately, the development of services with double amount of resorts and tourists attributed to the death of a mass mount of corals around Trawangan. However it has nothing to do with Gili Scuba Diving ;)
When I went under water, I had some problem with water pressure and really felt painful, but the dive master helped me to equalize and after that everything went on smoothly.

Besides the professionalism, the sense of humors from the staffs really make me feel at ease and homy. They also shared bunch of stories about diving while we were sailing back to the island, about the dynamite fishing, the destruction from mass hunting for shark tips that thousands of sharks laying at the bottom and waiting for death, and those really affected my thoughts on the survival of natural corals and its inhabitants. Thanks Gili Scuba Diving for giving me such a milestone experience, Im looking forward to seeing them in a near future, and I also hope that the coral reefs at Gili will be maintained for the next generation.

Me and my wife sign up for 5 dives on Gili Scuba. Our last dive on June 2011 in Honduras. So I ask Gili Scuba staff Andika, and he really friendly explaining to us that if we not feel comfortable if we go directly to very good spot, then we can pick easy divespot to make us remembeou r again about the dive skill. Its really good option for us. Finally we go to Halik Reef to dive for the first time, and guest what..WE DO REMEMBER EVERYTHING, and our divemaster Emi explain everything about the skill that we might forget, and giving some tips during the dive. Me and my wife really satisfied with Gili Scuba Services. Not so many people on the boat, we diving on small group, really recommended diveshop if you go to Gili Trawangan.
Me and my wife finally do 5 dives with them, and all our dives really good. Thanks to Andika, Emi, and all Gili Scuba staff for your good services. Im reaaly love to come back again and definetely will recommend Gili Scuba to all my friend.
Cheers.

Honestly, I stay next to Gili Scuba when I arrive on Gili T. But I decide to go for a dive with the other company,even they offer me to for a dive with them.
But guess what, I WAS TOTALLY WRONG ! I go with other company close to the harbour, and the divemaster really terrible, he dont care at all about me, during the dive and even after the dive, when i ask, he just stay on the island for a month !! how could he know about the divesite??? thats why during the dive, he dont show me anything special.
The worst is, I have to go inside the office to ask for a stamp for my logbook by myself. My divemaster dont even ask about my logbook.Very bad services.
When I go back to my hotel, I meet with Erwin on the street in front Gili Scuba, his the manager and also divemaster on Gili Scuba. He explain everything that I want to know. And the next day, I go for a dive with them, and theres is 2 more people on the group with me. We go to Shark Point in the morning and Hidden Reef in the afternoon. GREAT DIVE!
Erwin really really understand the good spot, the big fish, even the PIGMY SEAHORSE ! He show us the pigmy during the dive..Absolutely good services for us ..
I dive with them on the next 3 days. Now I already in Canada, and im highly recommend all my friend who comes to Gili T to dive with Gili Scuba. Vanessa.

I arrived in Gili without a dive buddy, but the staff at Gili Scuba looked after me beautifully! It was like having a personalised underwater guide. I loved going out in the smooth outrigger boat to the dive sites (no bouncing your bones around, and no seasickness from the trip). I felt really looked after by everyone on the crew - and they even took photos (of excellent quality) as a souvenir of my trip). Usman even found a stone fish that I would never have seen on my own. Altogether the best dive experience I've had. Highly recommended.
