Signature Scuba on Gili Gede was a fantastic experience! I stayed for one week and completed my Open Water Certificate. Fandy and Maman(Instructor) were very flexible and made me feel very comfortable. We added on three fun dives at the end, big thanks to Indra(Dive Master)! The dive sites had gorgeous and healthy reefs with so many animals to see. The accomodation was very comfortable and tranquil to relax after diving. There are many restaurant/bar options nearby and the locals are very generous with boat rides from a to b. Make sure you have enough cash out before coming to the island as there is no atm.

Amazing diving experience with Signature Scuba. Our dive master Indra was super friendly and helpful the whole time. It was our second time with this agency but first time in Gili Gede. I would recommend diving with them anytime! Thanks again Fandy and Indra

10/10 Fandy and Indra were amazing. Indra was my dive master and he was skilled and professional while still maintaining a relaxed environment. Great gear! Delicious lunch and coffee on the boat. I did 2 dives with them and had such a great experience I decided to book a night dive with them as well. They have less reviews that other centers on the island but please dont let that detour you from booking with them. They picked me up from the port and from my homestay in the morning and evening (which the other centers dont do) for no extra charge. Do yourself a favor and come see for yourself.

Absolutely can recommend this place! I did my open water certificate there and was more than pleased with Fandi! Also stayed 3 days at their accomodation and really enjoyed the quiet island. Additionally the food was amazing 🙏🏼✨

We completed our first Discovery Scuba Dive with Fandy and decided to do the Open Water Diver course with him after the first dive. He's very understanding and considerate of everyone. It was the perfect mix of fun, knowledge, and skills development; he opened up a wonderful world to us. Thank you so much for your dedication, Fandy!

We were treated so well by Uss and her family at their homestay. Generous portions, breakfast included, air con in the rooms and very spacious. I would recommend some new pillows though 😁
It was quite special to wake up to the sound of the sea, to have sea views and step foot in the sand when leaving the room. We quite liked the location also, and spent one evening exploring the southern tip and another day to explore the rest of the island (you can cross the mouth of the river to create a circular route).
Fandy was our diving instructor for my partner's Open Water and my fun dives. He was very patient and passionate, helping me to get back into diving and for my partner to feel confident in his new skills. We would recommend him as a diving instructor and general guide. The underwater world around Gili Gede is also fantastic, with so many fish, turtles, white tip sharks and many other critters. We hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did.
Note that there are currently only two rooms so expect quiet.

Signature Scuba in Gili Gede gave me one of the best diving experiences I’ve ever had! The whole team was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the ocean. Every dive was well organized and filled with stunning underwater views colorful reefs, micro, and so much marine life. You meet amazing people and get some delicious food after the dive. If you’re looking for a professional and fun dive center, Signature Scuba is definitely the place to go!

Amazing snorkeling and diving experience at Gili Layar, Gili Rengit and Blue Corals with Afan 🤿🐠
He is super friendly, professional and knows all the best spots to see coral reefs and tropical fish. We even saw turtles and reef sharks, it was unforgettable. We felt safe and comfortable the whole time. If you are looking for a snorkeling or diving trip in Lombok, go with Afan. You will not regret it 🌊✨

We were lucky enough to discover this place by chance, and what an amazing surprise! We spent two unforgettable days here: one snorkeling and one diving. The spots were stunning and diverse, and the prices are much more affordable than anywhere else in Gili Gede.
Special thanks to Afan, our guide, professional, passionate, and super friendly. He explains everything clearly, makes everyone feel comfortable, and always brings good vibes.
Bonus point: thanks to his GoPro, Afan captured unique moments that turned into truly memorable memories. We couldn’t recommend this place more, we’re leaving with incredible images and unforgettable memories!

I had a great experience with Fandi and his team. We left in the morning with the boat to dive to two beautiful locations where we could even see two sharks and several turtles, among many colorful fishea and coral. Everything was safe and well organised and the price is more than fair. They even send us the pictures and videos they took afterward. Best thing to do on Gili Gede !

I had an amazing experience with this dive school! Fandy and his team were extremely professional, friendly and patient, and they made me feel safe and comfortable. I had a great time. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great diving experience.
I also stayed at the accommodation connected to the dive school. It was great too. The room was clean, and the staff were very helpful. We had an ocean view and were able to enjoy the sunrise from our room.
