How it all started
After gaining several years of industry experience in Thailand, Jenny from Sweden and Neill from the UK were ready to embark on their own adventure. Landing on the relatively untouched shores of Gili Trawangan in 2010, they set up shop with a small dive shack just off the beach. They were quickly joined by Jon, a Swede who was exploring the Indonesian waters on his liveaboard for years. The 70 years of shared dive industry experience was the perfect base to attract more like-minded divers, and formed the base of what Gili Divers is today.
We are a full self-sufficient operation with our own accommodation, swimming pools, dive boats and compressors. Our location could not be better as Gili Divers is located directly on the beach, so you walk straight onto our dive boats. Captains and crew have been with us from day one, and will make sure the ride to the six different Gili dive sites we offer daily is as smooth as possible.
