During my stay @ Gili Trawangan, I went to Manta dive, which is one of the most popular diving companies @ the Gili's. There I did the SSI open water diving course. After practicing some skills in a swimming pool, we went for our first dive in open sea. Going under for around 45 minutes to a depth of 18m or 60 ft was quite an experience. Once you are comfortable with breathing, it becomes an unforgettable experience.

One of the main attractions @ the Gili's are the magnificent sea turtles.

We saw a few of those white tipped reef sharks. If you don't come too close, there's nothing to worry about.(source google gili bookings)

The Moray was one of the most fascinating creatures I've seen under water.
