We did two fun dives with DPM Diving, guided by Viki, and had a fantastic experience. Everything was explained clearly from the start, and Viki was friendly and attentive throughout the dives, making sure we were ok and didn’t miss any of the marine life.

The small group sizes was great (just us and another diver on the boat) so it felt calm, well-organised, and very safe the entire time. I’d highly recommend DPM Diving if you’re looking to dive around Gili T!

An incredible diving experience from start to finish. The team at DPM Diving in Gili Trawangan is professional, calm, and genuinely passionate about the ocean. Our instructor Natie (Natasha), explained everything clearly, which made us feel confident and safe in the water, whether you are new to diving or experienced. The equipment is well maintained and the dive sites around the Gili islands are stunning, we saw turtles, colorful coral, and vibrant marine life. What stood out most was the friendly atmosphere, it feels less like a dive shop and more like a small community of people who truly love diving. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Gili Trawangan, easily a 5 out of 5 experience. 🌊🐢🤿

I did my Rescue Diver course with DPM Dive Center and had a great experience. Dani was my instructor and he was awesome — super calm, supportive, and full of great tips that really helped me improve my skills and confidence in the water.

The whole team had a really nice vibe, professional but relaxed, which made the learning process fun and enjoyable. I definitely recommend DPM if you’re looking to continue your diving training in a friendly and professional environment.

Thanks Dani and the DPM team! 🤿

I completed my Open Water Scuba Course with DPM Diving, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish.
The entire team was welcoming, professional, and well organized.

A huge shoutout to my instructor, Ana she was absolutely amazing. She was patient, calm, incredibly knowledgeable, and always made sure I felt safe and confident underwater. No question was too small, and she took the time to explain everything properly. You can really tell she loves what she does, and that makes such a difference when you’re learning something new.

The dives were beautiful, well-planned, and such a fun learning experience.

I would 100% recommend DPM Diving to anyone thinking about getting certified or just going for fun dives. Thank you for such an unforgettable experience!

One of best experiences I have ever had. The instructor (Anna) was amazing with all training and underwater help. Most of the other dive places offer 1 dive only but I would suggest you take 2 dives from DPM as you get adapted and enjoy the second one much more. Huge thanks to Anna and DPM team for this unforgettable experience.

Vi har dykket i dag, med den dygtigeste instruktør Martina. Hun snakker flydende engelsk og er let forståeligt hvilket har gjort oplevelsen både nem, lærerig og tryg. Jeg dykkede uden certifikat, men gennem begge dyk oplevede jeg ingen utryghed og vi fik set de fineste korelrev, fisk og hajer. Helt klart tiden og pengene værd.
