Book your spotYour Journey
We'll meet at our dive centre in Gili Trawangan, where one of our certified instructors will welcome you and introduce you to the basics of scuba diving — how your equipment works, how to breathe underwater, basic underwater communication, equalising your ears, how to move underwater, important safety procedures and what to expect during your first dive. Everything is explained simply and clearly, with plenty of time to ask questions before you get anywhere near the water.
During this pool session, you will practise a few skills with your instructor to help you feel more confident in the sea. It's calm, shallow and completely pressure-free — you can stand up whenever you like.
Time for the real thing. We'll board our boat — the reefs are just 10–20 minutes away — and your instructor will guide you every step of the way as you descend to a maximum of 12 metres, exploring colourful coral gardens and spotting tropical fish in a safe, relaxed environment. Say hi to your first turtle!
Back from your first dive, we'll take a break to relax, share stories and recharge. Done for the day? You'll be free by around 12:30 — or stick around for round two.
If you find yourself wanting more (and most people do!), you can choose to add a second dive for just Rp 800.000. That extra dive gives you the chance to feel even more comfortable in the water and discover a different reef area — a great way to make the most of your day in this underwater paradise.
Our dive boat is spacious, comfortable, and designed with divers in mind. It offers a smooth ride, space to gear up with ease, and a chill area to relax between dives. With the Gilis' sites just 10–20 minutes away, it makes your diving day smoother, more social, and a lot more enjoyable.
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.
One of the best experiences ever… coming as a guest and I'm leaving as a friend. Thank you guys ❤️
