Being on Gili Air the main thing I wanted to do was learn to dive. I went in to a couple of different dive shops and the one that impressed the most was Manta. After checking on TA I went ahead and booked to do my open water diving course. I was lucky enough to have Rob as my instructor... More

Had the luck of having Syb from Holland teach us our open water certificate over 3 days. Patient, funny, informative and a very aware and safe dive instructor. I would recommend doing any kind of training or diving with him no matter what your level of experience. Manta on Gili Air has good equipment and a nice area to learn... More

I did an SSI Open Water Diver course and 3 fun dives afterwards. Since it was low season and they had many instructors, it was a private course for me! Rob2, my instructor, was exceptionally friendly and just a cool guy. He explained everything very understandably and was very patient. During our dives, I felt very safe all the time.... More

I have been diving for 9 years, and have been diving in several countries, with many different dive shops. Manta Dive is probably my worst experience with a dive shop. The staff is very friendly, bUt after your initial welcome to the dive shop & filling out paperwork, the service pretty much stops. Dive boats were overcrowded & equipment is... More
