FREE DIVE THE GILIS


FREEDIVEGILI is the new place that you can learn to freedive in South East Asia, located at Manta Dive on the idyllic island of Gili Trawangan in Lombok, just a short distance from the holiday island of Bali.

Apnea Total Instructor Mike Board will teach you breathing and relaxation techniques that will make you feel more comfortable holding your breath and allowing you to dive longer and go deeper. Whether you are interested in competitive apnea, spearfishing, or just improving your snorkelling and confidence underwater, FreeDiveGili is the ideal place for you to learn.

FREEDIVING although a relatively young sport is the oldest method of diving. It is the most natural way to experience the underwater world, swimming freely, silently and allowing you to get much closer to marine life without disturbing it.

Gili Trawangan has been one of Indonesia’s premier dive attractions for many years with its crystal clear waters, beautiful coral reefs and abundant marine life. This also makes it the perfect place to learn to freedive with beautiful dive sites only a walk off of the beach.
