GILI Dives Sites
For All Levels
The Gili’s are three islands located about 2 hours from Bali. Gili Trawangan (often called Gili T, probably because people are too lazy to say the whole thing) and the little siblings, Gili Air and Gili Meno, are known as the most popular dive destination in Asia. (Koh Tao who?)
Diving at the Gili’s makes you a stronger diver as the conditions are varied which also means the marine life is varied and stunning.
The dive sites around the Gili’s contain so much diversity. You’ll often see cuttlefish, moray eels, clownfish, trumpetfish and much much more.
Macro lovers will love exploring in-between the topography to find seahorses, nudi branch’s, anemone crabs, and other small wonders. And of course, lots of turtles!
