Explore after dark · Gili Trawangan
Welcome to a thrilling journey into the underwater world after dark. Immerse yourself in the magic of nocturnal marine life guided by our expert instructors. Discover why night diving with La Bombona is an extraordinary adventure like no other.
When the sun goes down, the reef comes alive in a completely different way. Hunting lionfish and morays, sleeping parrotfish, prowling crabs and shrimp, and — if you're lucky — the sparkle of bioluminescence in your torch beam. Our guided night dives in Gili Trawangan are open to all certified divers, with torches provided and a sunset boat ride thrown in. Same reef, whole new world.
Your evening runs from 6:00 pm to around 7:30 pm, depending on sunset time.
Not included — the marine park fee (Rp 100.000 per diving day).
Book your spotYour Journey
Start your evening on the water as the sun sets over the Gili Islands. Our dive boat will take you out from Gili Trawangan to the dive site selected for that evening — the exact site depends on conditions, currents and the experience level of the divers joining us. On the way you'll have time to prepare your equipment, go through the night-dive briefing and watch the last light disappear before entering the water.
Torches on, we descend as the last light fades. Your guide will lead you over the reef in a small group, picking out hunting predators, sleeping fish tucked into the coral, and critters that only come out at night — and when you cover your torch and wave your hand, the water sparkles with bioluminescence.
After around 45 minutes underwater, we surface beneath the stars. Warm up, swap stories, and enjoy snacks and refreshments on the short ride home — you'll be back on Gili Trawangan with plenty of time left to grab dinner and relive the dive.
Our 12-metre dive boat is spacious, comfortable, and fully equipped with all the necessary safety equipment to make every dive as safe as possible. It offers a smooth ride, space to gear up with ease, and a chill area to relax. On a night dive it doubles as the best sunset spot around — and the comfiest place to warm up afterwards.
Insights from our divers
Best place to dive in Gili T! I got my Advanced Open Water course here and couldn't be happier. The instructors are super professional, great vibes, very patient, they really take their time to make you feel comfortable and confident.
This is the friendliest dive centre in the Gili islands. These guys were super fun, yet professional and I felt really safe on my dives. The shop's also so pretty and there's live music in the restaurant-bar downstairs.
An incredible experience from start to finish! The team is extremely professional, friendly, and puts safety first. My instructor was patient and knowledgeable, and the rental gear was in top condition. The dive sites were breathtaking.
I had such a fun dive with La Bombona Diving in Gili Trawangan this week! As a newly certified Open Water diver, this was only my fifth dive, and the team made it easy and fun from start to finish.
Amazing experience with La Bombona Diving. My friend the instructor Orlando is friendly, professional, and made me feel safe from the beginning.

Less than you think. Your torch lights a cosy bubble of reef, your guide knows every inch of the site, and the fish are mostly asleep. Most divers surface wondering why they waited so long to try it.
Hunting morays and lionfish, sleeping parrotfish in their mucus cocoons, crustaceans everywhere — and bioluminescent plankton when you cover your torch and wave your hand.
