My partner and I didn't stay on Gili as we had accomodation on Lombok but next time when we have a chance to, we definitely will spend a few days here. We tried an introductory dive with Manta and I will share that our instructors Ben and Juan were absolutely wonderful. They were professional, friendly and gave clear instructions and... More

After travelling for four months we decided to get our Open Water at Manta Dive in Gili Trawangan. Just walked in to get some information and we both had a good feeling about it. We followed a four day course (would recommend it, not three days). When we started I felt a bit strange and unsafe (breathing underwater) but our... More

Friendly, fun and professional staff, beautiful surroundings, great facilities and good kit. Felt safe at all times whilst having a ball, couldn't recommend it more highly! I will be back. This is the first time I've reviewed anything online so that must say seething too! More

I did a scuba tune up as I did my open water 3 years ago. I felt a bit nervous and had been reading up before hand but I needn't have, the staff were excellent, super professional, she calmed my nerves immediately and made it all so easy. I had some issues with ears not clearing but she kept me... More

Excellent dive shop, very flexible with arranging our dives. Eddie was our dive master and he was amazing at spotting things underwater. These are a great group of people looking to make your experience the best. Caffe on site offers great bacon and egg rolls so get there early for breaking. More

I recently completed my open water cert - the staff was competent and friendly. And - for the most part - it has a relaxed feel for hanging out in between dives. My one complaint was the extent to which the staff, instructors and dive leads smoke. Immediately before dives, immediately after getting back on the boat and throughout all... More

Hi, Thanks for your review and i am glad to hear that you enjoyed your dive course with us. I am surprised however by the extent that the staff were smoking while you were doing your course as this is totally unacceptable. I have had a meeting with all of our instructors/dive guides and while i cannot ban them from... More

Not interested in people, just the money they can get from you. Booked for 5 days, stayed 4. Not impressed with the owners at all. More

We did a couple of fun dives and really enjoyed it, we don't dive very often but the gear was all set up for us which was great and Edy gave us a good briefing and made sure we were comfortable, he had amazing eyes and showed us loads of stuff, we spent ages drifting with a turtle on the... More

My wife and I loved it here. We went diving with Manta Dive about 4 years ago now, when my wife got her open water certificate, and I got my advanced. We had such fun with the people here, and on the island as a whole, that we decided to go back a month ago. I think it says a... More

We stayed at Manta and dived with them during our stay on GT. With small children the staff were fantastic, arranging babysitters for us so we could dive. Our bungalows were clean and close to the pool, which had a shallow kids area, perfect for them to play (away from the divers) and for us to sit and relax. We... More
