La Bombona

Our Diving School

We founded our dive school on Koh Tao in 2014, added Koh Lipe, and now we're bringing the same people-first diving to Gili Trawangan, Indonesia. Small groups, seasoned instructors, and a dive deck ten minutes from reefs that turtles call home. New island, same standards.

Dive site map of the three Gili islands — sites around Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air
Shark Point

West of Gili T — reef sharks, big green turtles, morays and the occasional ray. The classic.

Turtle Heaven

A coral pinnacle off Gili Meno that lives up to its name — turtles on almost every descent.

Halik

Canyons and sloping reef from 5 to 30+ metres on Gili T's north side. Turtles, reef sharks and humphead parrotfish.

Meno Wall

A wall that comes alive after dark — lobsters, hunting morays and sleeping parrotfish. Our favourite night dive.

Hann's Reef

Macro heaven: frogfish, leaf scorpionfish, mantis shrimp, seahorses and ribbon eels for the eagle-eyed.

Sunset Reef

South of Gili T — white-tip reef sharks, rays, cuttlefish and snapper schools as the light goes golden.

... and way more! Book a dive and explore the Gilis' wonders with La Bombona Diving!

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a Try Dive and a course?

A Try Dive is a four-hour introduction — a guided first dive, no certification. A course (like Open Water) is the real thing: a few days of training that ends with a worldwide licence. Not sure which is yours? Message us and we'll be honest with you.

Is everything included in the price?

Nearly — equipment, your instructor or guide, boat trips, snacks and dive insurance are all included. The only extra is the marine park fee of Rp 100.000 per diving day, which goes straight to the park.

Do I need a medical exam?

Not automatically. You'll fill in the standard diving medical questionnaire before you start — only if you answer "yes" to a question do you need a doctor's sign-off. Unsure? Message us before you travel and we'll check for you.

Do I need to be a strong swimmer?

For a Try Dive, no — there's no swim test, and your instructor stays right beside you in calm, shallow water. For the Open Water certification you'll need to manage a 200 m swim and 10 minutes of floating.

What if I get nervous in the water?

Completely normal — most first-timers are. We teach in small groups, start in calm, shallow water where you can simply stand up, and move at your pace. Nobody gets rushed.

What languages do you teach in?

We teach in English and Spanish, and your digital training materials are available in many more languages.

Is there an age minimum?

Yes — diving starts at age 10, for both Try Dives and the Open Water (with junior programmes for ages 10-14; from 15 you take the full course). There's no upper age limit as long as you're in good health.

How do I book?

WhatsApp is the fastest way — message us and we'll sort your plan together. Mornings are best for calm water, and reefs are just 10-20 minutes from the beach by boat.
