Manta Dive Resort Gili Air

Perfect location. Staff are fantastic. Scuba diving with this team is brilliant. Very experienced staff, perfect for a course or fun dives. Safety first for all levels. I am very much a beginner and I had a fabulous time. Many experienced divers were staying here and the culture of the place works for everyone. I cannot imagine a more perfect place to stay and enjoy scuba diving and snorkelling. I cannot wait to return. On a more basic level, the restaurant is great and the accomodation has a lovely garden, this is nice as provides respite on hot days.

My daughter did her junior open water with Simone. I cannot give her enough stars…. She was fantastic! She was super enthusiastic and made it a really fun learning experience. I also joined for a refresher course and a couple of dives. All fabulous. Thank you Simone and the mana team !!! It was awesome

A very special thank you note Where does one start……I want to send a thank you message to you all expressing myself in the most grateful and passionate way that words can possibly describe. Firstly …Thanks to one very special young lady, Dani, for opening up this opportunity . No words can explain the joy and happiness i am feeling right now! You were my professional guide, mentor and safety net! For all of you absolute professionals to open your arms and Instruct(Brit and Tom), Guides(Dani and Keira) and assist(Dani) an old dog through the past 12 days has been one the most wonderful and inspiring experiences of my life! Big call you say however, its largely due to a super impressive culture built on love and passion for what you do and most importantly for each other. Its unconditional. Amazing! How privileged i feel with sharing and you all including me in all dives, what an experience of a life time. A memory filled with the biggest dose if awe ever! I couldn’t believe how you gathered around me, kitted me up in the water ready to night dive by shore access. It made it all the more enjoyable. The Food will remain in the taste buds memory bank forever. The Manta Bar and Bistro - im feeling 22 yrs old again. (Not the body the next day) i loved every minute of the tour including Bens generosity. You guys and gals are A-Graders in your profession, dancing, partying, singing, karaoke, banter and supporting each other. Last but far from least is……Ben and Marriet, it starts with you guys. Great leadership and great business. My door down under in Aus is wide open to all of you! Darwin and the Tiwi Island’s. For now its goodbye but not forever. I will be back! Gili T and Manta Dive Centre for ever in my heart! #mantadive_professional_fun_safe Cheers everyone Scotty Simpson
