I did my first dive with DPM. My instructor was Dani. I absolutely loved the whole experience. Dani calmly and in detail explained us how to handle equipment and later at the sea he was equally patient and helpful. I think Dani’s approach and effort made the difference in the experience. Being non swimmer, he ensured I knew all the details and also while in water he made sure I enjoyed. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you Dani and DPM 🙂

Came to Gili T and was so excited to start my open water diving certificate. Jeremy was the best instructor ever, so fun, calm and educational. Each dive we debriefed and spoke about all the cool things we saw during the dive and spoke about skills etc. The whole team is so happy to help with any questions from diving, Gili T and onwards travel. I’d highly recommend coming to Vikings diving, it’s been a highlight of my trip!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had my first-ever diving experience with DPM in Gili Trawangan, and it couldn’t have been better. The instructor was patient, clear, and professional, helping me overcome my fears and feel completely safe and comfortable in the water. What impressed me most was the personal attention we received. One of the owners was there when we arrived and even rearranged his own schedule to provide the briefing and instruction in Spanish, which made a huge difference. The entire team was friendly and welcoming, and all the equipment was in excellent condition. I highly recommend DPM to anyone looking for a safe, professional, and enjoyable diving experience in Gili Trawangan.
