Took my basic open water course and it was great experience! Nick, my instructor, was rather patient with my initial not-so-fantastic buoyancy skills; always giving feedback on what I can improve, and what to look out for. Even swam the 200m with me for the last component for my certification (I hate swimming). Thanks so much for all the hospitality... More

We came to Gili Air to get our diving certification and the guys at the Manta Dive were great. We had Nele as an instructor, and she was obviously very experienced, as well as friendly and reassuring - the perfect combination for beginners like us to help us enjoy our first dives. (Thanks Nele! :) Adjacent hotel is very nice... More

I booked thru agobe.com because I could not find "The Waterfront Hotel" thru TripAdvisor but owner says these are the same. This is confusing. They also do not use autoreply to email so you will have to wait to see if you get a response. I did get a response within the 24 hr period but was unsure if they... More

A friend and I just stayed for a week in Gili Air and had a fantastic stay at Manta Dive. The rooms were very clean and spacious. Diving and all the courses were great fun with the crew. Special thanks to Nick who was very patient with us. We really had a lovely time and I would definitely go back.

We stayed in Manta for 6 nights and loved every day. We extended our stay from 1 to 6 nights and still found it really hard to leave. The rooms are simple but very clean and comfortable. The shower was great with hot water and the internet was fast. We ate at the beachfront restaurant a few times and the... More

So I recently learned how to dive, in the cold California Pacific and decided to try out my new hobby on a vacation. Manta Dive -Gili Air was perfect. I stayed in both the bungalows and rooms - both were very cool. Even though the island is really small, staying right on site was perfect. Roll out of bed, grab... More

I took references from Tripadvisors and I decided to stay there for one night only. Thanks to all reviewers, I like it so much. It is a small resort (I would prefer call it as "4 stars B&B), managed by foreigner (most likely Australian), very clean, very convenient, staffs are friendly helpful. It's not suitable for family with kids, though...... More

Spent 5 days at the Manta Dive Air! When arriving I wasn't sure if I wanted to do the Open Water Diver. Now thinking about it, I can't imaging doing it anywhere else! Guys there were great! Rob Ladd: Best instructor ever! It was so easy to learn from him. Language was no problem at all even doing the course... More

Would strongly recommend Manta Dive to anyone I did my first dive with them since doing a course in NZ and they were amazing, they did everything for you which meant you could just relax and enjoy the dive, I was really nervous going out but once I met the guides that went away and I was confident ten out...
