The world for their pristine waters, great diving and snorkeling
Opportunities, and lied back charm.
The world “Gili “ actually means “ small island “ and so these islands

The island provided ample opportunities for visitors to swim, snorkel or scuba dive with the many Internationally accredited dive operators based in Lombok. Popular dive companies are owned and operated by western wit PADI qualifications, and professional standard of safety and environmental awareness.
Blue marlin Dive and Dream Divers are probably the biggest dive companies, with office on the Gilis and in Senggigi on the main land. Manta Dive, Big Bubble, Trawangan dive and Villa Ombak Diving Academy on Gili Trawangan also have good reputation.
Snorkeling is easy in the calm waters directly off the beaches and, although much of the coral in the shallow waters has been destroyed, it's still enjoyable, with plenty of fish to see. At greater depths and at dive locations around the three islands, the pristine waters are home to an abundant variety of corals, aquatic of life and thousands of species of tropical fish, at least comparable to the top dive location in Thailand.
