The Gili Islands offer year-round diving with water temperatures rarely drop below 27 degrees Celsius and 25-30 meter visibility . For more information about seasonal variations please visit our 'weather' page.

Each Dive Central guide and instructor will give you a full briefing about the dive site you are planning to visit including a detailed map. In the meantime, here are brief descriptions of each site to whet your appetite:

There are over 20 dive sites that we regularly visit – each is stunning in a different way. If you ask each Instructor which is their favourite dive site, it’s likely they will give you different answers.
