The Gilis are renowned for being the ‘Turtle Capital of the World’ due to the huge numbers of turtles seen while diving here. We have two types of turtles – Green and Hawksbill which can be found regularly.

Ever dreamed of swimming with turtles?! We get to every day of the week so just send us an email and you can too!

Shark Point is one of our most requested dive sites – the shallows have as many turtles as you could hope to see in one dive site, while the deep ridges known as ‘Jack Point’ offer not only sharks, stingrays and beautiful corals, but also this resident school of ‘jacks’ which can regularly be seen circling in enormous numbers overhead.

For those who are not yet certified as advanced, why not take the PADI Adventure Deep Dive and get to see this incredible sight?

Happy Idul Fitri to all of our muslim staff! The 17th and 18th have marked the end of Ramadan and a month of fasting – just in time for high season!

ecently we have started seeing several Eagle Rays around the Gili islands. These beautiful rays are usually seen alone and can grow up to 3 metres in wingspan. They are listed as a ‘near threatened’ species but we hope this increase in sightings is a good indication and we will be seeing more of them in the future!

Big Bubble Dive has just turned 14 years old! A big thank you to all of the staff and divers who have made the last 14 years so much fun and have kept coming back for more!

Let us know when your next trip is!

This week one of our instructors took a day trip and went to dive the Magnet Dive Site in Lombok. She was greeted by a school of roughly 30 Hammer Head Sharks. Diving Lombok is easily accessible from Diving Gili Trawangan. Please contact us if you require any further information.

There has been a few Whale Shark Sightings here whilst Diving Gili Trawangan in last few Weeks. Yesterday we also see a Sail Fish hunting on the Surface. High season is still in full and the weather is Amazing at the moment. Visibility is averaging 25 – 30 m as well. Perfect time to come and join us for a dive.

The High Season for Gili Islands Diving is in full swing at the moment. A short fast boat trip from Diving Bali brings you closer to the Gili Islands Diving experience. Also Diving Lombok is an up and coming dive attraction. Raja Ampat Diving is also something high on the agenda for those who dive the Gilis. You can also get a Komodo Liveaboard trip from the Gili Islands. The Gili Islands is a perfect place to do your Divemaster Indonesia due to the great vibe and great diving.
