"Best dive shop on Gili T"

I had an amazing first time ever scuba diving with Gili Divers. All the things we did was well organized. My instructor Clem is so so great, very caring. All the instructions from her was easy to understand and to follow, made me feel safe. Would definitely come back for my open water course with them!

Amazing experience at Gili Divers this week! Staff were all so nice. I did my  Open Water course with Mike who couldn’t have been a better instructor, I had a great time! I then decided to do my Advanced Adventurer course straight after with them and Leanne and Mauro were amazing! Really great dives, total professionals and great facilities. Jasper took our phots on one of the dives and they came back really cool - fully recommend him too!I’ll definitely be back, cheers guys!

Completed my SSI Open Water Diver training here. From the first email, communication was great. Everybody was so welcoming and friendly. Denise was my trainer and was very friendly and professional with a real passion for diving and training. No rushing through any steps and everything explained well. So cool. Would highly recommend stopping in to Gili Divers

Can I do my Advanced course with SSI when I have a PADI Open Water?

Yes, no problem! You can mix agencies and dive with any center (PADI with SSI or vice versa).

⁠Are SSI certifications recognised all over the world?

Yes. It doesn't matter which organisation you are certified through, as long as you're certified. For continuing education, you can also switch between agencies.
