About
When you want to have fun in a PADI 5 Star Dive Resort with the value and the safety of small group and amazing dives, Diversia Diving is the place to be.

Located on the beach, Diversia is the perfect place to chill between dives, study courses and try our amazing Italian food. Be surrounded by a tropical garden while in the pool or in our gazebo, the best classroom in Gili. Diversia’s international instructor team teaches in English, Italian, Spanish, French and Portuguese. Our boats, traditional Indonesian style, are in front of the shop and can reach all the dive sites in around 10 minutes. On these dive sites you'll find beautiful corals, countless turtles, reef fish - even sharks! Come and see for yourself

Our 2 x 10 year olds had their first dive experience yesterday with Nikita at Diversia doing the Bubbkemaker course. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day, location and instructor. The kids started out in the pool learning about the equipment, air pressure, buoyancy, mask clearing, equalising and regulator recovery. Nikita realised very quickly the kids were strong swimmers and confident in the water. She then gave them the green light for their first ocean dive. We headed out in the boat and they progressed their learning to their first boat roll entry and decent to about 2m depth this was more than enough to see lots of fish, coral, underwater statues and use their newly learned skills. We were able to join the kids as observers on the dive which made one of my parenting dreams come true, to give the gift of diving to my son
and five with him to see him smile underwater. The kids were so excited. As we regularly came up to chat and discuss things they kept saying, again, again, again. Nikita was a champion, giving them encouragement, teaching new techniques and keeping them safe in a semi strong current with some places minimal visibility. The whole experience took around 4 hours and was one we will never forget. The first of many dives for these kids in a setting that many can only dream of. Thanks again Nikita and the team at Diversia.

Thank you so much for this fantastic review! Taking kids diving is one of the most fun days our instructors can have - especially Nikita, who is a natural with children. Your kids did wonderfully for first time divers - I'm sure it won't be the last time they are in scuba gear! We hope to see you back next school holidays for some junior open water certifications. Happy bubbles - The Diversia Team

Alexa was the best instructor. She is patient, she explained everything with detail and she was willing to repeat and show something many times. I really enjoyed my dives and the whole experience was nice and smooth. I highly recommended! :)

I have just finished my Advanced Open Water Course at Diversia with Alexa.
I cannot thank you enough for your friendliness, patience, knowledge, professionalism, calmness and humour. There are not enough positive adjectives to describe the experience!
I had been a nervous/anxious diver prior to the course. Alexa, put me at ease immediately, made me feel safe and confident. She has completely changed my diving journey and further instilled my love and respect of the ocean.

As a solo traveler I was looking to meet and befriend other divers. I felt instantly welcomed at Diversia by Alexa, Laun, Sohini and Irene. I thought I was a pretty good/safe diver until I met Alexa. This woman is a walking encyclopedia of diving knowledge and advice and I learned SO much from her. To me there is nothing more important in diving than being able to fully trust your guide or instructor and I knew that Alexa and the others genuinely cared about my safety and well-being. I ended up extending my stay by 3 days, it was really difficult to say goodbye to this crew. I'll be back!
The equipment and boats were good as well.

I did my Advanced Dive PADI course with Alexa Worswick at Diversia - she was a brilliant teacher, taking time to explain everything and make me feel comfortable. We had some epic dives, seeing multiple sharks, turtles and tropical fish.
I had been nervous about night and deep diving and Alexa worked hard to put me at ease. She's a natural, highly knowledgable, and it's clear she really loves what she does. Her enthusiasm is infectious, even when we had long days and my final session had to be moved - which meant she worked on her day off. Dedication like no other!

I took my Open Water licence in Diversia with Alexa, I felt super safe in every moment, she was very prepared and I learnt a lot. She organized the course based on my preferences on studying theory and diving, sites and marine life I wanted to see. All the crew was super friendly and easy going, I had a great time in the school. I definitely chose Alexa and Diversia again. Thank you guys!

Me and my friend had Alexa as our instructor for our open water course and she was amazing!! She was incredibly thorough, careful and patient with teaching everything so that we fully understood the skills and we were confident in them. As well as this she had a very positive attitude and every dive was equally safe and enjoyable. She even went out of her way to help with our questions about the island and was incredibly friendly even after our dives. I wouldn't have wished for anyone else as a dive instructor!

My friends and I had a great time at Diversia! There are plenty of dives for both the inexperienced divers, and the ones who were already certified. Most of my friends had not scuba dived before, and some were even hydrophobic. However, the great instruction at Diversia helped them still have a great time. I, myself, was lucky enough to go on a night dive and see a spotted eagle ray!
Special shout out to Nikita, who was a great diving guide! Super chill and made sure our experience was full of glee!
As a separate note, the dive shop's food is also bomb! If you get the chance, try out the carbonara. We definitely ate multiple meals at the shop to try out all the dishes (all of which were great).
Overall, would recommend!
(The visit date is incorrect - I actually went in August of 2019, but forgot to write a review until now... Hehe.)

Having not dived for over a year, i felt i needed to do a refresher course. SU made me feel super confident to get back in the water after a good session in the pool. The dive itself was beautiful. You will struggle to find clearer, warmer waters anywhere else in southeast Asia with so much wildlife. Seeing Sea Turtles on Christmas day is an experience i will remember forever!

Hi,
We will be arriving some time in October this year. I was wondering if you do hotel pick up's for the scuba diving and PADI courses? Or does one have to stay at your resort?
Many thanks

We are arriving on November 23rd. My partner has never dove before and he is wanting to learn. I’m hoping he can take a short course with you and we are wanting to dive again 4 days later in the Komodo. Our plan is to only be on Gili T from November 23rd and go to Air on the 25th. Is this do-able to get him to a point where he can dive in Komodo with an Instructor in the short amount of time we are on T?

I had never dived either. You could not pick a better dive school to learn these guys are amazing. You can do a day course. Half the day in the pool then into the sea, beleive me you will love it. The best place to learn to dive. Youcould then go on to do your PADI but that requires a futher 3 days however the youcan dive all over the world. Very jealous :)

Hi Alexia,
Greetings from a very sunny Gili Trawangan!
Thanks for emailing us at Diversia Diving & Bungalows
You can take part in the PADI Discover Scuba Diving Program. It consists of a briefing explaining you the basics of diving, followed by a pool session where you’ll learn a few skills and get accustomed to the equipment. We’ll then take you on a dive in the ocean to a maximum depth of 12 meters.
We offer this program in two time slots:
1. starting at 10:30 in the morning, diving in the ocean at 14:00. You will have about 1/1½ hours break for lunch in between
2. starting at 16:30 with the theory and pool, diving in the ocean the following day at 8:30
The cost for the PADI Discover Scuba Diving Program is of IDR 900,000
We also ask all people entering our waters for a contribution of Rp. 50,000 towards the Gili Eco Trust, which is a non-profit organization that works on the island environmental issues - from building artificial reefs, to waste management, to caring for the horses.
We don't require any deposit to ensure a reservation - an email of confirmation is sufficient.
You can then pay once here in either local currency or by credit card (Visa and MasterCard only). Please be advised that for card transactions there is a 3% surcharge.
Let us know if you’d like to make a booking, or if you have any more questions
Looking forward to hearing from you
