Gili Meno Divers

Gili Meno Divers is the only proper dive operation on Gili Meno, and their intimate scale is part of the charm. Run by a small team of dedicated instructors, the shop offers a personal, unhurried diving experience that perfectly matches the island's tranquil character. Group sizes are tiny — often just 2-4 divers — meaning you get almost private guide attention on every dive. The dive sites around Gili Meno are some of the best in the archipelago, with less diver traffic meaning healthier coral and more marine life. The famous underwater NEST statues are a highlight — a collection of life-sized human figures sitting in a circle on the seabed, now colonized by coral and surrounded by fish. Turtle encounters are virtually guaranteed on every dive, and manta rays make seasonal appearances. The Discover Scuba experience costs IDR 900,000, the PADI Open Water course IDR 6,000,000, and fun dives IDR 600,000 for two tanks. Prices are slightly higher than Gili T due to the smaller operation, but the personalized experience justifies the premium. Equipment is in excellent condition. The dive center can also arrange snorkeling trips and freediving introductions. Book in advance as they fill up quickly with small group sizes. The shop is located on the west coast, near the main beach area. Cash only — there is no ATM on Gili Meno, so bring enough from Gili T or Lombok.
