Lombok
The Ultimate Guide For Diving In Lombok
INDONESIA – Lombok
Lombok is big island about 2 hours away from Bali by boat. You can also access the island via the International Airport: Lombok Praya. It is an island filled with beautiful volcanoes and remote beaches.
Why Choose Lombok?
Ready to see what Bali was like before the annoying traffic and annoying wanna-be Instagram models? Then Lombok is for you! (I can’t promise NONE of the models will be there, sorry) The island has everything from local village, volcanoes you can hike, hidden waterfalls and secret islands.

LOMBOK CONDITIONS
The wet seasons run from October to March while the dry seasons run from April to September. Now, obviously with all the horrible things we are doing the world (don’t look at me, I recycle) the weather can be anything at anytime.
Diving is year-round but you will get slightly colder water temperatures of around 25 degree Celsius from December to March.

FAQs
If you’ve got a question, we’ve probably got an answer! But don’t be sad if your question isn’t here, we are available to help out or if you just want to write to us and tell us how funny we are.
How big is the island?
Lombok is a big boy. About 70 kilometers across but it’s never going to be a straight line as there is mountains and volcanoes in the middle.
How do you get around on the island?
You can rent a scooter or car, grab a taxi easily (odds are they will find you before you find them) Grab also exists if you want to use the ride-share app.
How to get to Lombok from Bali?
Lombok is about 2 hours from Bali. You can go via Serangan pier which is closer to the south/airport or you can go via Padang Bai pier which is 1 hour drive up the eastern coast.
You can also fly from Denpasar airport in Lombok Praya if you are scared of waves like me.
Most ferry providers will provide shuttle transport from hotel.
Check out sites like 12go.asia or we recommend Eka Jaya fast ferry or Blue-Water Express.
What is the nearest airport to fly into?
Bali is the bigger international airport but you can also fly directly into Lombok which has flights from Kuala Lumpur and Singapore.

Hear what some of our fans are saying about us:
Can't say enough great things about the team. Everyone who has helped me on the chats has always been so quick and kind. Felt like messaging a friend to make our booking. We will definitely be using GoDiving again in the future for any more diving trips we have planned. Can't wait for it.

It was surprising how easy the process was! Everything is so well automated but if you have questions, the crew seems to just always be online ready to help! We booked a diving course as well as some private tours with them and have been so happy with all of it. Communication was quick and helpful, online payment were easy!

Amazing experience from start to finish. Took less than 10 minutes to get a response and make our dive package booking. Love the handy confirmation page they give you which has all the information for the reservation in one place.
